NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) will launch the second next-generation weather satellite of the high-tech GOES-R satellite series on March 1, 2018. GOES-S (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-S) is scheduled to launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida at at 5:01 p.m. EST (2202) on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket.
When GOES-S reaches its geostationary orbit, it will be renamed GOES-17. It is scheduled to take over for the GOES-15 satellite and become GOES-West once it becomes fully operational in late 2018.
