About GOES 19

GOES 19 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Jun 25, 2024 from Air Force Eastern Test Range.

It sits in geostationary orbit about 35,800 km above the equator near 75°W, turning with Earth so it stays over the same spot.

The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.
