STEVE KIRKNER: Hello. I'm Steve Kirkner, the NOAA GOES program manager.
I'd like to welcome everyone to the NASA Direct webcast for the launch of the GOES-N mission.
GOES-N is the first of a new class of highly advanced weather satellites.
This next-generation spacecraft will keep a close eye on our planet's weather,
continue the study of the Sun, and even assist in maritime rescue operations.
GOES-N is a valuable mission that will greatly serve America and the world for years to come.
Thank you for joining us today, and I hope you enjoy the webcast.
