Predicting the path of destruction with orbital precision
In short: Discover how the GOES-O satellite serves as a primary sentinel for Earth's most volatile weather. This video explains how NASA and NOAA collaborate to transform raw orbital data into life-saving hurricane forecasts.
Launched in 2009, GOES-O represents the latest evolution in a series of satellites dedicated to monitoring severe weather for more than 25 years. By providing continuous data, the satellite enables real-time weather prediction and tracks space weather events simultaneously.
The collaboration between NASA and NOAA ensures that critical atmospheric data is accessible for immediate use. This infrastructure is essential for identifying the development of severe storms and protecting coastal communities from the impact of hurricanes.
