Very proud of the Lockheed Martin team – NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration selected Lockheed Martin to develop and build the U.S.’s next generation weather satellite constellation, GeoXO, for NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration. The GeoXO constellation will improve weather forecasting through new observations of our oceans and better lightning detection. What’s really exciting about this tech is that GeoXO will build on the capabilities of its predecessor, the Lockheed Martin-built GOES-R weather satellite series, and our team will be able to apply 15 years’ worth of lessons from GOES-R and incorporate new, digital technology to really help NOAA advance weather forecasting. https://lnkd.in/ga5zWwKs
" Fully opaque SERs placed over “heat domes” as they formed could protect the surface below from super drastic summer time heat increases and perhaps even dissipate the formation of such domes themselves if caught early enough." With regards to climate change concerns, regardless of the cause, it may be time to start developing a "Plan B". A good "Central Project" for our world's present and future generations to work on, here is an Idea Motivation Presentation (IMP) article I wrote concerning how to resolve the climate crisis using Solar Energy Regulators (SERs) deployed in orbit. Highlights: o Potential for solving regional global warming concerns o Potential for Climate Control o Potential for 131.75+ Terawatts (131,750,000,000,000 watts) electrical power.

Congratulations team - well deserved and an honor to be able to continue delivering on this mission for the nation! 👍
Marvelous news. Lockheed has had enormous experience on the various GOES weather satellites. Back in the early 2000s I and our Palo Alto Lockheed optics team were brought in to analyze and successfully fix one of the early GOES satellites. I hope some of that work has carried on to the present day to contribute to its NASA win.
They would have got better and cheaper spacecraft from Maxar and its partner. The USG has once again chose poorly 😜
6/29/24 - Great news for our friends at Lockheed Martin. Glad to see that the A2100 Bus will be used for this program.
Great work by the team!
This is great news! NASA has selected a fantastic team!👍
