ULA Launch Info

Delta IV GOES P

 

msbkltDelta IV GOES P Mission Overview

Rocket/Payload: Delta IV launching NASA and NOAA’s Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite P (GOES P) mission. ULA will be launching GOES P on behalf of Boeing Launch Services. GOES P is the second in a series of weather detecting satellites. A Delta IV launched the GOES N satellite in May 2006 and GOES O in June 2009.

Date/Launch Time/Site: March 2, with a one-hour launch window from 6:19-7:19 p.m. EST from Space Launch Complex-37, Cape Canaveral AFS, Fla. If the launch scrubs, the next launch attempt is set for March 3 with the launch window of 6:18-7:18 p.m. EST.

Launch Notes: This is the first Delta IV launch of 2010 and the second ULA launch of 2010. The launch configuration for this mission is a Delta IV Medium+(4,2) configuration with two solid rocket motors.

Payload Description: Working with GOES N and O, GOES P will provide more accurate prediction and tracking of severe storms and other weather phenomena, resulting in earlier and more precise warnings to the public. Supporting NOAA and NASA scientists collecting and analyzing real-time environmental data, as well as the U.S. Coast Guard searching the open seas, GOES P stands ready as the most advanced multi-mission weather and Earth-observation satellite ever built for NOAA geosynchronous operations.

Viewing the Launch Online: A live simulcast of the TV broadcast of the launch begins on the ULA Web cast page at 4 p.m. EST on launch day. The NASA Web site will also carry the launch at http://www.nasa.gov/ntv.
