Computer illustration of a Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite - R series (GOES-R) in Earth orbit. This next generation geosynchronous environmental satellite is scheduled for launch in 2016. It is carrying instruments to study weather on Earth and in space,and to image the Sun. The magnetometer (arm reaching in to bottom right of image) will measure changes in the magnetic field surrounding Earth. These changes can be dangerous to satellites and interfere with electrical systems on Earth | |
