Summary

[edit]
Description
English: If we fast-forward a decade, we're already on the third iteration of the GOES spacecraft. Early GOES satellites only viewed Earth about 10 percent of the time and provided data in two dimensions. On May 18, 1980, the GOES-3 satellite famously captured a plume of smoke billowing from Mount St. Helens after it erupted. NOAA used the GOES-3 satellite to track ash clouds and warn pilots of potential hazards in the sky surrounding Mount St. Helens.
