NOAA is going to launch a new weather satellite that will give new High-Definition data for weather predictions. GOES-R will launch aboard an Atlas V rocket into a Geostationary orbit above the US on November 4th at 5:40pm EDT. This data will give a real-time view of the weather in a way we've never seen it before. Some members of the media had a chance to view the Spacecraft before in the Astrotech cleanroom and learn about its functions and the instruments used onboard. They described the upgrade in the imagery as going from Black and White TV to Full HD, so the change is going to be huge.
