ATS was a multi-purpose engineering satellite series, testing technology in communications and meteorology from geosynchronous orbit. The major objective of the early ATS satellites was to test whether gravity would anchor the satellite in a synchronous orbit (22,300 statute miles above the Earth), allowing it to move at the same rate the Earth is turning, thus seeming to remain stationary. Although the ATS satellites were intended mainly as test beds, they also collected and transmitted meteorological data and functioned at times as communications satellites. ATS provided the first color images from space as well as regular cloud cover images for meteorological studies. 1966-12-07T00:00:00 Synchronous Meteorological Satellite (SMS-1) launched. 1974-05-17T00:00:00 SMS-1 ended operations 1976-01-01T00:00:00 SMS-1 deorbited 1981-01-21T00:00:00 The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) program formally began in 1975 as a joint effort of NOAA and NASA. 1975-01-01T00:00:00 SMS-2 (SMS-A) launched. 1975-02-06T00:00:00 SMS-2 deactivated 1982-08-05T00:00:00 GOES-1 (GOES-A) launched. 1975-10-16T00:00:00 GOES-1 (A) relocated to replace SMS-2 1978-06-01T00:00:00 GOES-1 (A) deactivated 1995-03-07T00:00:00 GOES-2 (GOES-B) launched. 1977-06-16T00:00:00 GOES-2 (B) ended imaging operations 1993-01-01T00:00:00 GOES-2 (B) deorbited 2001-05-05T00:00:00 GOES-3 (GOES-C) launched. 1978-06-16T00:00:00 GOES-4 (GOES-D) launched. 1980-09-09T00:00:00 GOES-4 (D) deativated 1988-11-22T00:00:00 GOES-5 (GOES-E) launched. 1981-05-15T00:00:00 GOES-5 (E) deactivated 1990-07-18T00:00:00 GOES-6 (GOES-F) launched. 1983-04-28T00:00:00 GOES-6 (F) deactivated 1992-05-24T00:00:00 GOES-G launched, but did not reach operational orbit. 1986-05-03T00:00:00 GOES-7 (GOES-H) launched. 1987-02-26T00:00:00 GOES-7 (H) switched to standby status 1996-01-01T00:00:00 GOES-8 (GOES-I) launched. 1994-04-13T00:00:00 GOES 8 (I) deorbited 2004-05-05T00:00:00 GOES-9 (GOES-J) launched. 1995-05-23T00:00:00 GOES-9 deactivated, because of failing bearings in the momentum wheels. 1998-07-28T00:00:00 GOES-10 (GOES-K) launched. 1997-04-25T00:00:00 GOES-10 (K) became the Operational West satellite. 1998-07-07T00:00:00 GOES-10 (K) operational status is standby/drifting. 2006-06-30T00:00:00 GOES-11 (GOES-L) launched. 2000-05-03T00:00:00 GOES-11 (L) became the Operational West satellite.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian GOES Imager GOES Imager Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite Imager The GOES I-M Imager is a five channel (one visible, four infrared) imaging radiometer designed to sense radiant and solar reflected energy from sampled areas of the earth. By means of a servo driven, two-axis gimbaled mirror scanning system in conjunction with a Cassegrain telescope, the Imager's multispectral channels can simultaneously sweep an 8-kilometer (5 statute mile) north-to-south swath along an east-to-west/west-to-east path, at a rate of 20 degrees (optical) east-west per second. This translates into being able to scan a 3000 by 3000 km (1864 by 1864 miles) "box" centered over the United States in just 41 seconds. The actual scanning sequence takes places by sweeping in an East-West direction, stepping in the North-South direction, than sweeping back in a West-East direction, stepping North-South, sweeping East-West, and so on. The Imager consists of electronics, power supply, and sensor modules. The sensor module containing the telescope, scan assembly, and detectors, is mounted on a baseplate outside the main structure of the spacecraft, together with shields and louvers for thermal control. The electronics module provides redundant circuitry and performs command, control, and signal processing functions; it also serves as a structure for mounting and interconnecting the electronic boards for proper heat dissipation. The power supply module contains the converters, fuses, and power control for interfacing with the spacecraft electrical power subsystem. The electronics and power supply modules are mounted inside the spacecraft on the internal equipment panel. (From: http://noaasis.noaa.gov/NOAASIS/ml/imager.html) JAMI JAMI Japanese Advanced Meteorological Imager Also known as MTSAT Imager (Multi-functional Transport Satellite Imager) and MTSAT 1R Imager. The JAMI instrument has been designed and developed by Raytheon SBRS (Santa Barbara Remote Sensing) of Goleta, CA under contract to Space Systems/Loral and was carried on Japanese MTSAT-1R satellite (a replacement for MTSAT-1). This instrument has a visible channel at 0.55-0.90 µm; three Thermal Infra Red (TIR) Imaging channels (3.5-4.0 µm, 10.3-11.3 µm and 11.5-12.5 µm) as well as an infrared channel at 6.5-7.0 µm. Radiation in JAMI sensor is collected by a telescope with an aperture of 311 mm and focal length of 895 mm and focussed onto photovoltaic mercury cadmium telluride infrared detectors. The size of the detectors is 50 µm square, giving an angular resolution of 56 µrad and hence a linear resolution of 2 km at nadir. The nadir sampling interval, and effective resolution is 4 km. MTSAT-1R that was launched in 2005 at 140 deg. East is operational since mid-2005.
