Elevating environmental intelligence to new heights and saving lives.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>On Saturday November 19, 2016 the next generation geostationary meteorological satellite GOES-R successfully launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Working alongside NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), scientists from the UW-Madison Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) played an integral role in the development of the GOES-R mission and are ready to receive the high-resolution data from GOES-R once it reaches its orbit and comes online.<\/p>\n<p>The next generation satellite hosts an array of instruments which will provide three times the spectral bands, four times greater spatial resolution, and at a rate five times faster than previous geostationary operational environmental satellites.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to launch, staff from the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) and NOAA led a two-day teacher training to help bring meteorological studies into the classroom. School teachers from around the country came together to share lesson plans and watch the exciting launch of GOES-R.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, staff at the numerous organizations involved with the GOES-R project, including SSEC and CIMSS, will work to get\u00a0the instruments onboard GOES-R online and functioning&#8211;with first images anticipated to arrive in early 2017.<\/p>\n\n\t<!--START Juicebox EMBED.-->\n\t<script src=\"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/plugins\/ssec_slideshow\/include\/js\/juicebox_lite_1.5.1\/web\/jbcore\/juicebox.js\"><\/script>\n\t<!--suppress JSUnresolvedFunction -->\n\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n        let jb = new juicebox({\n            containerid: \"juicebox-container\",\n            backgroundColor: \"rgba(0,0,0,.9)\",\n            galleryWidth: \"100%\",\n            galleryHeight: \"100%\",\n            configUrl: \"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-json\/ssec_slideshow\/v1\/config\/9350\"        });\n\n        \/\/ re-enable right click that Juicebox disables by default\n        jb.onInitComplete = function() {\n            document.getElementById('juicebox-container').oncontextmenu = null;\n        };\n\t<\/script>\n\t<div id=\"juicebox-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><\/div>\n\t<p style=\"text-align: right\"><a href=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Edit Slideshow<\/a><\/p>\t<!-- END Juicebox EMBED -->\n\n    \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All systems go for the next-gen geo satellite<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":9364,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,3],"tags":[14,67,29],"class_list":["post-9366","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured-stories","category-news-articles","tag-cimss","tag-goes-16","tag-goes-r"],"acf":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9366","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9366"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9366\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9378,"href":"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9366\/revisions\/9378"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9364"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9366"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
