GOES-R Transport from Astrotech to VIF at Pad 41

Enclosed in its payload fairing, NOAA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-R) is being transported to the Vertical Integration Facility at Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The satellite will launch aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket in November. GOES-R is the first satellite in a series of next-generation NOAA GOES Satellites.
