Are the satellites really called GOES-A, GOES-B etc. ? In Encyclopedia Astronautica they're called GOES-1, GOES-2 etc., there's only one with a letter, GOES G. At this NOAA site you'll also find them with numbers instead of letters and it seems that there are only 12 satellites. 193.171.121.30 02:03, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for the replies, so they were numbered as A=1, B=2, etc., G was a failure, H=7 ... M=12, and N, O, P and Q are not yet launched. 193.171.121.30 19:53, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Does GOES stand for Geostational Orbiting Enviromental Satellite or Geostational Operating Enviromental Satellite? 70.20.163.199 03:34, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
If the GOES logo is in fact the official logo of a program of the US Federal government, wouldn't that mean the logo is public domain, and as such should not be up for deletion? The Speedy Deletion is wrong I think.... Zidel333 ( talk) 22:45, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
GOES satellites participate in the Sarsat mission - is this covered in the article anywhere? ( sdsds - talk) 04:07, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
Several sections of this article (not the whole thing) currently read like a press release/promotional material. A large part of the problem likely has to do with the fact that all of the sources (prior to me adding the GAO report, just now) seem to be from the GOES program itself. NASA agencies (really, government agencies in general) are not neutral commentators on their programs. They all have a very large stake in self-promotion. That being the case... I wouldn't quite say that their material constitutes Original Research or advertising, but it's quite close.
So anyway, the point is that most of this article really needs to be heavily copy edited using secondary (non-NASA/NOAA) sources and a more neutral tone. If you can help, just do so.

Solar flare says their classification is based on GEOS readings but the GEOS article does not mention this and seems vague about what instruments are on each satellite. Can anyone say which GEOS instrument is used to classify solar flares ? Presumably the satellites are 'aimed' at earth, so are the x-ray sensors omni-directional ? - Rod57 ( talk) 12:53, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
