GOES-O scheduled for launch Friday from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, was scrubbed. Thunderstorms in the area prohibited launch violating weather constraints for a safe liftoff.
Launch managers opted for a 24-hour turnaround and rescheduled the GOES-O launch for Saturday, June 27. The launch window opens at 6:14 p.m. and extends one hour to 7:14 p.m. EDT.
The acronym GOES stands for Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites. GOES-O is the second in a series of three state-of-the-art weather satellites. The satellites provide many of the satellite photos of Earth shown on newscasts in the United States.
