GOES-P UNBAGGING & ROTATION 2010-1173
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At the Astrotech Space Operations facility in Titusville, Fla., the components of NASA's GOES-P meteorological satellite are in view following the spacecraft's unbagging. The cup-shaped objects on the left side of the spacecraft include the S-band and L-band antennas. The large cup-shaped object at right is the ultrahigh frequency, or UHF, antenna. GOES-P, the latest Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite, was developed by NASA for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA. GOES-P is designed to watch for storm development and observed current weather conditions on Earth. Launch of GOES-P is targeted for no earlier than March 1 from Launch Complex 37 aboard a United Launch Alliance Delta IV rocket.
