释义
Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite

Space Exploration
  • Any of a series of US meteorological satellites operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for the National Weather Service. The first satellite under the GOES program was launched in October 1975 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The launch of GOES-8 on April 13, 1994, introduced a new generation of spacecraft, the GOES I-M series. The three-axis, body-stabilized design provided significant improvements to the existing craft. The last satellite in the GOES I-M series, GOES-12, was launched in July 2001; it is the first of the series to carry a Solar X-ray Imager (SXI) to observe events on the Sun that could affect the Earth. The series' primary mission is to monitor dynamic weather events, such as hurricanes, and other environmental conditions on the Earth's surface and in near space. The satellites give an accurate location of a phenomenon by using an imager and sounder.


Geology and Earth Sciences
  • A series of meteorological satellites placed in geostationary orbit by NASA. The first generation comprised eight satellites, designated GOES-A to GOES-H, launched in 1975, 1977, 1978, 1980, 1981, 1983, 1986 (launch failed), and 1987; all are now out of commission. The second generation comprised GOES-I to GOES-M, launched in 1994, 1995, 1997, 2000, and 2001; all are now out of commission. GOES-N (launched 24 May 2006, at 75°W), GOES-O (launched 27 June 2009, at 105°W), and GOES-P (launched 4 March 2010, at 135°W) are second-generation satellites still in operation. GOES-Q was cancelled. GOES-R, launched 19 November 2016, is the first in the third generation.
