Which is the fourth generation of GOES satellites?

The fourth-generation satellites, the GOES-R series, are being built by Lockheed Martin using the A2100 satellite bus. The GOES-R series is a four-satellite program (GOES-R, -S, -T and -U) that will extend the availability of the operational GOES satellite system through 2036.

What kind of satellites are in high or low Earth orbit?

Many weather and some communications satellites tend to have a high Earth orbit, farthest away from the surface. Satellites that orbit in a medium (mid) Earth orbit include navigation and specialty satellites, designed to monitor a particular region. Most scientific satellites, including NASA’s Earth Observing System fleet, have a low Earth orbit.

When was the first GOES satellite launched into orbit?

The first satellite of the series, the eponymous GOES-R, was launched on 19 November 2016. It was renamed GOES-16 upon reaching orbit. The second satellite of the series, the eponymous GOES-S, was launched on 1 March 2018. It was renamed GOES-17 upon reaching orbit.

Where are the satellites located in relation to the Sun?

The first Lagrange point is located between the Earth and the Sun, giving satellites at this point a constant view of the Sun. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), a NASA and European Space Agency satellite tasked to monitor the Sun, orbits the first Lagrange point, about 1.5 million kilometers away from Earth.
