The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)-East/17 has suffered another major issue while in orbit, as NOAA aims to replace the problematic satellite with GOES-T. GOES-17 is the second satellite in NOAA’s GOES-R program, a replacement to the aging GOES-N satellites.
