Taking #GOESU from its initial concept to launch was a highly coordinated and collaborative effort between @NOAA, @NASA, @LockheedMartin, @L3HarrisTech, and @SpaceX.

Are you #ReadyToGOES tomorrow?

Today, @NOAA's GOES-U will be traveling to space aboard a @SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket! It will generate more than five million pounds of thrust at liftoff, equal to approximately eighteen 747 aircraft!

We're still getting #ReadyToGOES at 5:16 pm EDT!

.@NOAA’s #SWFOL1 🛰️ is scheduled to launch on Tuesday, Sept. 23! 🚀

Its crown jewel is its compact coronagraph—its eye on the sun—which will allow SWFO-L1 to detect even the fastest coronal mass ejections right as they happen.

.@NOAA’s #SWFOL1 🛰️ is scheduled to launch on Tuesday, Sept. 23. The #CountdownToLaunch is on!🚀

SWFO-L1 carries a suite of new instruments that measure solar wind speed, density, temperature, as well as magnetic field variations in real time to provide better forecasts of incoming #SpaceWeather than ever before.

We're at T-minus 4 days and counting! 🚀

@NOAA's #SWFOL1 🛰️ is ready to improve #SpaceWeather forecasting!

Its magnetometer will track solar plasma heading toward Earth, helping forecast geomagnetic storms. Its location, at the end of a long boom, reduces interference from the spacecraft itself.
