The new GOES-R receiving station expands NASA's capability to use real-time data from space to study Earth's weather and deliver new forecasting, warning and disaster response tools to partners around the world.
A ribbon cutting event begins 10 a.m. CDT at Marshall's Activities Building 4316. Media will have the opportunity to view the antenna system and to participate in on-location interviews with NASA and NOAA officials.

Media will need photo identification and must report to the Redstone Arsenal Joint Visitor Control Center at Gate 9, Interstate 565 interchange at Rideout Road/Research Park Boulevard by 9 a.m. CDT for badging. Vehicles are subject to a security search at the gate.
The GOES-R series program is a joint effort of NASA and NOAA to develop, deploy and operate the satellites. The program is managed by NOAA with an integrated NOAA-NASA program office organization, staffed with personnel from both agencies, and supported by industry.
