BRUCE BUCKINGHAM: Okay. Thank you. Well, playing on that answer, that response, Dixie from Pine Valley asks:
"Will the GOES-N replace one of the current satellites, or is this an additional one?"
ANDRE' DRESS: Ultimately, it will replace it. Okay, it's just a matter of when. So the current plan is to actually launch the
spacecraft, check it out, and it will be stored at a location of 105 degrees west. Okay, and then depending on NOAA's needs,
when they need to bring it into service, then they will decide when that's done,
depending on whether or not another satellite fails or actually runs out of fuel. At that time, it'll be brought out of service.
