Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida at 6:11 pm EDT on May
25, 2006.

GOES-13 (GOES-N) is the latest in a series of Earth monitoring satellites.
Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) provide the kind of
continuous monitoring necessary for intensive data analysis. Geostationary
describes an orbit in which a satellite is always in the same position with
respect to the rotating Earth. This allows GOES to hover continuously over one
position on the Earth's surface, appearing stationary. As a result, GOES
provide a constant vigil for the atmospheric "triggers" for severe weather
conditions such as tornadoes, flash floods, hail storms, and hurricanes.
