Japan’s New Earth Satellite Captures an Image of Earth Every 10 Minutes
Looking down at Earth from 22,000 miles out — almost three times farther than the diameter of the planet itself — allows a view of the globe as a massive organic system, pulsing with continuous movement...

🌎
NOAA and NASA launch a similar advanced weather satellite, GOES-R, in March 2016
- Latest generation of geostationary weather satellites
- GOES-R Series of Environmental Satellites
The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) – R Series is the nation’s most advanced fleet of geostationary weather satellites. The GOES-R Series significantly improves the detection and observation of environmental phenomena that directly affect public safety, protection of property and our nation’s economic health and prosperity.
The satellites provide advanced imaging with increased spatial resolution and faster coverage for more accurate forecasts, real-time mapping of lightning activity, and improved monitoring of solar activity and space weather.
The GOES-R Series is a four-satellite program (GOES-R/S/T/U) that will extend the availability of the operational GOES satellite system through 2036.
