CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – One of two solid rocket boosters is lifted into the mobile service tower on Launch Pad 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. It is the left rocket and it will be mated to the GOES-O Delta IV launch vehicle. GOES–O is one of a series of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites. The multi-mission GOES series N-P will be a vital contributor to weather, solar and space operations and science. NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, are actively engaged in a cooperative program to expand the existing GOES system with the launch of the GOES N-P satellites. Launch of the GOES-O is targeted for no earlier than April 2009. Photo credit: NASA/Ben Smegelsky KSC-2009-1904
