Just last month the Perpetual Notion Machine repeated a show about the GOES-R (now GOES-16) weather satellite that was launched in November. That satellite has just gone “live,” and started sending back some amazing images. Well, on this special pledge drive edition, Tim Schmit is back to talk with PNM’s Will Cushman. Tim is a Satellite Research Meteorologist at UW-Madison’s Space Science and Engineering Center and NOAA’s Center for Satellite Applications and Research. They discuss all the bells and whistles found on the satellite, and besides the images, what data GOES-16 has already accumulated.
For all the latest information on GOES-16, go to the GOES-R website. And to see the first images from GOES-16, check out this NASA website.
