The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-K (GOES-K) is placed on display for news media representatives at the Astrotech Space Operations LP facility in Titusville. GOES-K, the latest in the current series of advanced geostationary weather satellites in service, is scheduled to be launched into space aboard an Atlas 1 rocket on April 24 from Launch Complex 36, Pad B, Cape Canaveral Air Station. Once in orbit, GOES-K will become GOES-10, joining GOES-8 and GOES-9 in space.
