Happybirthday to GOES 1 (A) Satellite

 Sampson I.M Onwuka

Geostationary Operational Environment Satellites was launched on this day October 16^th, 1975 to help predict the atmosphere by studying the weather conditions as part of Weather Mission.  It was released at Cape Canaveral and has since then transformed into several other GEOS geostatic.

In this 40 years anniversary we reflect some of the transformation at the Space Center and Agency, including the rise of NASA’s MTPE – Mission to Planet Earth that cover the Earth’s atmosphere, land surfaces, oceans, and general conditions of the biosphere. 

The Second introduction to the piece is Earth-observing Satellite (EOS), ‘Moderate-resolution imaging spectrometer’ (MODIS) - a product of the so-called cold war era, ‘multi-angle imaging spectrometer’ (MISR), and renewed mission satellites such as MOPITT – Measure of pollution in the troposphere. 

Although little has been done to prevent natural disasters and the introduction of these monitoring systems remains very important earth navigation tools.

   

The names of those involved in the trail phase and the mission is NASA property including the attachment from ESA – European Space Agency. The purpose then and now is to monitor ‘visible light’, ‘infrared system’, ‘earth surfaces’, ‘variations’, and ‘cross-calibration’ and since the GOES Satellite, the attention is what happens in Mars.  

Happy Birthday to GOES (1) A….
