The satellites are equipped with a formidable array of sensors and instruments. GOES provides nearly continuous imaging and sounding, which allows forecasters to better measure changes in atmospheric temperature and moisture distributions, hence increasing the accuracy of their forecasts. GOES environmental information is used for a host of applications, including weather monitoring and prediction models. GOES-O was the second NASA spacecraft to launch on the Delta IV launch vehicle family. Boeing Company and United Launch Alliance worked together to launch the GOES-O satellite.
