Description
A Falcon Heavy rocket launched a new weather satellite into orbit from the Kennedy Space Center on Tuesday.
The 'GOES-U' satellite is the newest and final addition to NOAA's GOES-R series of satellites.
GOES stands for Geostationary Operational Environment Satellite Series.
This latest satellite will assist with weather-observing and environmental monitoring by tracking local weather events that affect public safety like thunderstorms, hurricanes, wildfires, and solar storms.
