GOES-7, known as GOES-H before becoming operational, is an American satellite. It was originally built as a weather satellite, and formed part of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite system.

NASA's 12-year-old Geostationary Observational Environmental Satellite, GOES-7, is being relocated to a position over the Pacific Ocean southwest of Hawaii to become part of PEACESAT, the Pan Pacific Education and Communications Experiment by Satellite.

Known as GOES-H prior to launch, GOES-7 was the 10th in a series of NASA-developed, NOAA-operated, geostationary spacecraft. It's main mission was operational meteorology, including atmospheric sounding, but the satellite also made a substantial contribution to our understanding of space weather.

2 天之前 · The GOES X-ray plots shown here are used to track solar activity and solar flares. Large solar X-ray flares can change the Earth’s ionosphere, which blocks high-frequency (HF) radio transmissions on the sunlit side of the Earth. Solar flares are also associated with Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) which can ultimately lead to geomagnetic storms.
