KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - The second of two Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) is transported from the Receipt Inspection Storage building to Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. At the pad, the SRB sill be attached to the Boeing Delta IV rocket. 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. NASAs 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.
