Launched: September 9, 1980. Instruments: VAS, DCS, SEM and Magnetometer. Dates of operation: March 1981 - November 25, 1982. Operational status: Decommissioned. It was the first geostationary satellite to provide continuous vertical profiles of atmospheric temperature and moisture, which its primary instrument, the VISSR Atmospheric Sounder (VAS), provided. GOES-4 was placed in orbit at 135 degrees West to replace the failing GOES-3.</gco:CharacterString></gmi:description><gmi:sponsor xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/86832756-32CE-46E2-E040-0AC8C5AB43743" xlink:title="DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/OSO &gt; Office of Satellite Operations, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce"/><gmi:sponsor xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/86832756-32D8-46E2-E040-0AC8C5AB43743" xlink:title="NASA/GSFC &gt; Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA"/><gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/8293FAD4B8A675F2E040AC8C5AB4576F" xlink:title="VAS &gt; VISSR Atmospheric Sounder"/></gmi:MI_Platform>
