Description:Beginning in 1990, NOAA plans to launch a new generation of geosynchronous environmental (GOES) satellites; by the year 2000, five satellites will have been launched, with many improved capabilities over the current operational GOES satellite. The project, known as "GOES I-M," begins with the launch of GOES-I, GOES-J, and GOES-K in late 1990, 1992, and 1995, respectively, and will continue in 1997 and 2000 with GOES L and GOES-M. The satellites will be launched by an Atlas Centaur rocket, rather than by the Space Shuttle as was the original plan. The GOES I-M satellites will supplement the other improving technologies and data-collecting instruments in the National Weather Service, such as AWIPS-90 and NEXRAD.
