GOES-R Centaur Stage Transport from HIF to ASOC

On the same day it arrived, the Atlas V Centaur stage departs the Horizontal Integration Facility on its way to the Atlas Spaceflight Operations Center near Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-R) will launch aboard the Atlas V rocket in November. GOES-R will be the first satellite in a series of next-generation NOAA GOES Satellites.
