Summary

Description
English: GEM-60 solid strap-on booster for Delta IV rocket
On Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Boeing workers prepare to raise the Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) to a vertical position. Then it will be lifted up the gantry and lowered to the Boeing Delta IV rocket for attachment. The Boeing Delta IV is the launch vehicle for the GOES-N satellite, the first of three for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that will provide continuous monitoring necessary for intensive data analysis. GOES-N will provide a constant vigil for the atmospheric "triggers" of severe weather conditions such as tornadoes, flash floods, hail storms and hurricanes. When these conditions develop, GOES-N will be able to monitor storm development and track their movements. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center is responsible for development of the satellite and testing of the spacecraft and its instruments. GOES-N is scheduled for launch on May 4.
