BRUCE BUCKINGHAM: Well, 105 degrees west. Well, Bill asks a question, and Bill's from Sacramento, and he says,
"Where will GOES be parked? Will it be in position over the Atlantic or the Pacific?"
ANDRE' DRESS: Well, let's see here, for storage, Bill, we're talking about putting it at 105 degrees west.
Okay, so that's halfway between the 75 degrees west and the 135 degrees west that we talked about earlier.
105 degrees west is a specific location because it's a stable point on the Earth, and we have to do less maneuvers
to actually keep it in that location. So, after that, it depends on which satellite needs, which area needs it the best.
Okay, so if the east spacecraft has run out of fuel or actually had a failure, then it would replace that spacecraft.
If the west spacecraft at 135 had a failure, ran out of fuel, then it would replace that one. So it's really
based on the needs at the time.
BRUCE BUCKINGHAM: So you've got a lot of flexibility, we can put it wherever we need it at the time.
ANDRE' DRESS: That's correct. BUCKINGHAM: Alright, thank you.
