GOES-16 Magnetometers Anomaly Solar-Angle Based Characterization and Correction
Abstract
GOES-R launched aboard an Atlas V 541 rocket from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, on November 19, 2016. The first satellite in the series, GOES-R, was renamed GOES-16 upon reaching geostationary orbit GOES-16 at GOES-Checkout location (89.5 degrees West Longitude) during PLT (Post-Launch Testing). The GOES-16 magnetometer boom was deployed on December 7, 2016 and magnetometer checkout began. GOES-16 replaced GOES-13 as NOAA's operational GOES-East satellite on December 18, 2017. The GOES-16 satellite operational location (GOES-East) is at 75.2 degrees West Longitude.
