Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Can you believe what a difference just over 30 years makes? Launched on May 3, 2000, the GOES-11 satellite spent several years at 104 degrees west longitude because GOES-10, which was in the GOES West position at the time, exceeded its design life. GOES-11 only spent about five years in the GOES West position before being replaced by GOES-15. The GOES 8-12 satellites were a major advancement because they could transition from routine scans to focus on a more localized area to deliver short-term weather forecasts.
