On July 7, 2024, NOAA’s GOES-U completed its final engine burn, successfully entering geostationary orbit 22,236 miles above the Earth’s equator. Following this achievement, the satellite has been renamed GOES-19. GOES satellites are initially designated with a letter before launch, which is then changed to a number once they reach geostationary orbit.
