GOES-6 , known as GOES-F before becoming operational, was a geostationary weather satellite which was operated by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as part of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite system.[1]
GOES-6 was built by Hughes Space and Communications , and was based on the HS-371 satellite bus . At launch it had a mass of 660 kilograms (1,460 lb ),[2]
GOES-F was launched using a Delta 3914 carrier rocket[3] Launch Complex 17A at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station .[4] [5]
The launch successfully placed GOES-F into a geosynchronous transfer orbit , from which it raised itself to geostationary orbit by means of an onboard Star 27 apogee motor, with insertion occurring on 9 May 1983.[6]
Following insertion into geosynchronous orbit, GOES-6 was positioned at 135° West. In 1984 it was moved, initially to 97° West, and later to 108° West to cover for the failure of the Visible Infrared Spin-Scan Radiometer on GOES-5 . After GOES-7 replaced GOES-5 in 1987, GOES-6 was returned to 135° West, where it remained for the rest of its operational life.[4] [1] GOES-8 in 1994. Following this failure, it remained operational as a relay satellite until it was retired to a graveyard orbit on 19 May 1992.[1] [6]
