| Description |
English: NOAA’s GOES-T, the third in the GOES-R Series of advanced weather observing and environmental monitoring satellites, departed Lockheed Martin in Littleton, Colorado, on Nov. 9, 2021, for transport Buckley Space Force Base in Aurora, Colorado.
Shipping a satellite is no small feat. GOES-T is the size of a small school bus and weighs over 6,000 pounds! The spacecraft team at Lockheed Martin, where GOES-T was built, carefully packed the satellite in a special shipping container that protected its sensitive instruments and functioned as a miniature cleanroom during transport. GOES-T was then driven to Buckley Space Force Base in Aurora, Colorado, where it hitched a ride aboard a C-5M Super Galaxy aircraft to Kennedy Space Center.
