'''GOES-18''', (designated pre-launch as '''GOES-T'''), is a [[Meteorological]] [[Weather Satellite|Satellite]] operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ([[NOAA]]) that observes the weather above West Coast of the United States and the [[Pacific Ocean]]. The acronym "'''GOES'''" stands for ''[[Geostationary]] Operational Environmental Satellites'' and is applied to weather satellites. The sattelite is currently scheduled to be launched in March of 2022 to replace "[[GOES-17]]" which was suffering from a malfunction.
