Description
English: NOAA's GOES-S arrived at NASA's Kennedy Space Center on December 4, 2017, to begin preparations for a March 2018 launch.

GOES-S flew aboard a U.S. Air Force C-5M Super Galaxy cargo transport from Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, Colorado, to Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

GOES-S will join its sister satellite, GOES-16, and be renamed GOES-17 upon reaching orbit.

Shipping a satellite is no small feat. GOES-S is over 18 feet wide and weighs over 6,000 lb!
