GOES-T Spacecraft Transport from Astrotech to SLC-41

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-T (GOES-T), enclosed in its payload fairing, begins its move out of the Astrotech Space Operations facility in Titusville, Florida, for the trip to the Vertical Integration Facility at Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on Feb. 17, 2022. The satellite will be lifted up inside the integration facility and secured to the United Launch Alliance Atlas V 541 rocket. GOES-T is scheduled to launch atop the Atlas V rocket from SLC-41 on March 1, 2022, at 4:38 p.m. GOES-T is the third satellite in the GOES-R series that will continue to help meteorologists observe and predict local weather events that affect public safety. The launch is being managed by NASA’s Launch Services Program based at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, America’s multi-user spaceport.
