Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The GOES-S satellite launched from Space Launch Complex 41 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, on March 1, 2018. Once in orbit, it was given the operational name GOES-17 (GOES West). From 22,300 miles away, its sister satellite—GOES-16 (GOES East)—watched as it blasted off onboard an Atlas V rocket. Using GOES-16’s ABI instrument, this image shows three perspectives of the launch using water vapor channels. The warmth from the rocket shows up as a dark blue “blip” in the upper-level moisture capture (top), a yellow blip in the mid-level moisture (middle) and a faint orange blip in the low-level moisture.
