Schmit Interviewed by Space News about the GOES-R ABI
An article (“GOES-R Weather Satellite Program Hits Key Milestones”) on the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)-R Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) was published by Space News. The article includes the status of the spacecraft and instrument, and potential applications. Also included is a figure of simulated ABI images of Hurricane Katrina and an interview with Tim Schmit.
Image from the Space News article: 2005's Hurricane Katrina is depicted in the 16 spectral bands that the Advanced Baseline Imager will be capable of producing. Current operational instruments produce imagery in only five spectral bands.
