The GOES I-M series of satellites is owned and operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) manages the design, development, and launch of the spacecraft. Once the satellite is launched and checked out, NOAA assumes responsibility for the command and control, data receipt, and product generation and distribution. These spacecraft help meteorologists observe and predict local weather events, including thunderstorms, tornadoes, fog, flash floods, and other severe weather. In addition, GOES observations have proven helpful in monitoring dust storms, volcanic eruptions, and forest fires. The GOES I-M mission is scheduled to run from the mid-1990s into the first decade of the 21st century. Each element of the mission has been designed to meet all in-orbit performance requirements for at least five years. NOAA and NASA have developed a new generation of GOES satellites, designated GOES-N,O,P, that will continue and enhance the previous generation of GOES satellites through 2012. The next generation of satellites will provide a continuation of meteorological and environmental data products and services to the GOES data user community. The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R Series (GOES-R) program is a key element of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) operations. As such, the GOES-R series of satellites will be comprised of improved spacecraft and instrument technologies, which will result in more timely and accurate weather forecasts, and improve support for the detection and observations of meteorological phenomena that directly affect public safety, protection of property, and ultimately, economic health and development. The first launch of the GOES-R series satellite is scheduled for 2015.</gco:CharacterString></gmi:description><gmi:identifier><gmd:MD_Identifier><gmd:authority xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/9f0de6e5-428b-11df-9879-0800200c9a66" xlink:title="GCMD Project Keywords"/><gmd:code><gco:CharacterString>GOES > Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites</gco:CharacterString></gmd:code></gmd:MD_Identifier></gmi:identifier><gmi:status><gmd:MD_ProgressCode codeList="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/resources/Codelist/gmxCodelists.xml#MD_ProgressCode" codeListValue="onGoing">onGoing</gmd:MD_ProgressCode></gmi:status><gmi:type><gmi:MI_OperationTypeCode codeList="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/resources/Codelist/gmxCodelists.xml#MI_OperationTypeCode" codeListValue="real">real</gmi:MI_OperationTypeCode></gmi:type><gmi:parentOperation gco:nilReason="inapplicable"/></gmi:MI_Operation>
