BRUCE BUCKINGHAM: Okay. Thank you. Well, playing on that answer, that response, Dixie from Pine Valley asks:

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:10.000
"Will the GOES-N replace one of the current satellites, or is this an additional one?"

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:16.000
ANDRE' DRESS: Ultimately, it will replace it. Okay, it's just a matter of when. So the current plan is to actually launch the

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:22.000
spacecraft, check it out, and it will be stored at a location of 105 degrees west. Okay, and then depending on NOAA's needs,

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:27.000
when they need to bring it into service, then they will decide when that's done,

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:33.000
depending on whether or not another satellite fails or actually runs out of fuel. At that time, it'll be brought out of service.

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:37.000
