Space Mission Briefings at NASA

Photographs of press conferences at NASA involving discussions about space missions, featuring professionals in suits discussing spacecraft and satellite launches.

In the Kennedy Space Center's Press Site auditorium, members of the media participate in a mission briefing on the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-R). Briefing participants included Steven Goodman, NOAA's GOES-R program scientist, and Joseph A. Pica, director of the National Weather Service Office of Observations. GOES-R is the first satellite in a series of next-generation GOES satellites for NOAA, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. It will launch to a geostationary orbit over the western hemisphere to provide images of storms and help meteorologists predict severe weather conditionals and develop long-range forecasts.
