KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - At Astrotech Space Operations in Titusville, Fla., workers guide one of the STEREO observatories as it is lowered toward the other observatory. They will be mated for launch. STEREO, which stands for Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory, is the first to take measurements of the sun and solar wind in 3-dimension. This new view will improve our understanding of space weather and its impact on the Earth. STEREO is expected to lift off aboard a Boeing Delta II rocket from Launch Pad 17-B at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on Aug. 31. Photo credit: NASA/George Shelton KSC-06pd1797

The newest Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-M (GOES-M) satellite is ready at Astrotech, in Titusville for the media to see the last in the current series of advanced geostationary weather satellites in service. GOES-M has a new instrument not on earlier spacecraft, a Solar X-ray Imager that can be used in forecasting space weather, the effects of solar storms that create electromagnetic disturbances on earth that affect other satellites, communications and power grids. GOES is scheduled to launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on an Atlas II rocket in July KSC-01pp1019
