Posted: Sun, Mar 6, 2022, 10:58 AM ET (1558 GMT)
An Atlas 5 successfully launched a weather satellite Tuesday. The Atlas 5 lifted off on schedule from Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 4:38 pm EST (2138 GMT) and, after three burns of its Centaur upper stage, deployed the GOES-T satellite into a geostationary transfer orbit three and a half hours later. GOES-T, which will be renamed GOES-18 once it reaches geostationary orbit, will replace GOES-17 at the GOES-West orbital slot early next year once it completes several months of on-orbit checkouts.
