Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites
This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. NOAA, with the aid of NASA, is to procure the next generation of geostationary operational environ. satellites, called Geostationary Operational Environ. Satellite-R (GOES-R) series. The GOES-R series is to replace the current series of satellites, which will reach the end of their useful lives in 2015. This new series is considered critical to the U.S.' ability to maintain data required for weather forecasting through the year 2028. This report: (1) determined the status of the GOES-R acquisition; (2) evaluated whether NOAA has established adequate contingency plans in the event of delays; and (3) assessed NOAA's efforts to identify GOES data users, prioritize their data needs, and communicate with them about the program's status.
