During the countdown for the launch of NOAA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite, or GOES-R, Stephanie Martin of NASA Communications, left, interviews Al Roker, weather forecaster on NBC's "Today Show." GOES-R is the first satellite in a series of next-generation GOES satellites for NOAA, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. It will launch to a geostationary orbit over the western hemisphere to provide images of storms and help meteorologists predict severe weather conditionals and develop long-range forecasts.
