 GOES Satellites: geostationary operational environmental satellites
GOES satellites are owned and operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) while the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) manages the design, development and launch of the spacecraft.
There are other geostationary satellites operated by other countries wihich contribute to cover the rest of the Earth.
The GOES data, which is vital to weather monitoring and short-term forecasting, is then distributed by the National Environmental Satellite and Information Service (NESDIS) to a variety of operational and research centers.

GOES G was launched in May 1986, but was destroyed when its Delta booster rocket went out of control.
GOES H was successfully launched on a Delta booster in February 1987, and remained operational until July 1995.
Using GOES imagery, meteorologists were able to measure the frame-to-frame movement of selected clouds at different altitudes and to obtain their wind direction and speed in order to better understand atmospheric circulation patterns.
