History and status of GOES satellites Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite

goes spacecraft have been manufactured boeing (goes-d through -h , goes-n through -p) , space systems/loral (goes-a through -c , goes-i through -m). goes-i series (i-m) , current goes-n series (n-p) documented in goes i–m databook , goes n series databook , respectively. goes-r series being built lockheed martin first in series, goes-16, undergoing on-orbit testing.

boeing have built , launched goes-q if goes-o or goes-p had failed delivered on-orbit in working order.
