New Solar Space Telescope
February 14, 2003 | The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has announced it is putting the GOES 12 satellite into operational service in April, almost two years after its launch into a storage orbit. Meanwhile, the satellite's Soft X-ray Imager began imaging the Sun on January 22 and is generating daily X-ray movies of solar activity, marking the first solar imaging by the weather agency.
The latest images are posted on the Solar X-ray Imager site:
