[]

Date: 2022-03-01 00:00:00

Weather officials with Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s 45th Weather Squadron continue to predict an 80% chance of favorable weather conditions for this afternoon’s launch of NOAA’s Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-T (GOES-T) satellite, which is part of the GOES Satellite Network. The cumulus cloud rule and liftoff winds serve as the primary weather concerns.

GOES-T is scheduled to launch aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 541 rocket from Canaveral Space Force Station’s Space Launch Complex 41 today at 4:38 p.m. EST. GOES-T will help meteorologists observe and predict local weather events, including thunderstorms, tornadoes, fog, hurricanes, flash floods, and other severe weather.

You may follow launch day activities on the NASA blog or by tuning in to NASA TV starting today at 4 p.m.
