This new weather satellite will also help search and rescue operations
GOES-R's primary instrument will bring in three-times more information at four-times better resolution at five-times faster speeds than current satellites. What makes GOES-R special is the status as the most advanced in the series. Large and small scale weather features will be monitored in higher resolution, giving us better immediate data, but also better data to be fed back into weather models, to help predict future weather patterns and events.
