Caption :
(05/23/2001) --- The newest Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-M (GOES-M) satellite is in the spotlight at Astrotech, in Titusville, for the media to see the last in the current series of advanced geostationary weather satellites in service. GOES-M has a new instrument not on earlier spacecraft, a Solar X-ray Imager that can be used in forecasting space weather, the effects of solar storms that create electromagnetic disturbances on earth that affect other satellites, communications and power grids. GOES is scheduled to launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on an Atlas II rocket in July
