GOES-19 is a NOAA geostationary weather satellite, currently serving as GOES East, positioned at 75.2 degrees west. Launched on 2024-06-25 as GOES-U, it entered operational service as GOES East on 2025-04-07, replacing GOES-16.[1] From geostationary orbit it provides continuous coverage of the Western Hemisphere, including the Americas, the Caribbean, and adjacent Atlantic waters.[2]
The satellite carries seven instruments: the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) for multispectral visible and infrared Earth imagery; the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) for real-time lightning detection; the Solar Ultraviolet Imager (SUVI) for solar disk imaging; the Extreme Ultraviolet and X-ray Irradiance Sensor (EXIS) for solar irradiance monitoring; the Space Environment In-Situ Suite (SEISS) for energetic particle monitoring; and a Magnetometer for geomagnetic field sensing.[3][4] GOES-19 also carries CCOR-1, a compact coronagraph that images the outer solar corona to detect and characterise coronal mass ejections.[2]
GOES-19 is part of the GOES-R Series, a programme jointly executed by NOAA and NASA, and delivers near-real-time data products supporting weather forecasting, storm tracking, and space weather monitoring.[5]
