GOES-16 is the NOAA GOES-East operational satellite and GOES-17 is undergoing it’s post-launch product validation activities. The GOES-R Series Product Readiness and Operations (PRO) team is tasked to work with our partners at the National Weather Service and within NESDIS to ensure products (both Level 1 and Level 2) are ready for operations and the user community is ready and are receiving and disseminating the various products to serve their needs and requirements.
