The first stage of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-M (GOES-M) Atlas II rocket arrives at Complex 36-A, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. It will be raised and lifted up the gantry for mating with other stages. The last in the current series of advanced geostationary weather satellites in service, GOES-M has a new instrument not on earlier spacecraft, a Solar X-ray Imager that can be used in forecasting space weather, the effects of solar storms that create electromagnetic disturbances on earth that affect other satellites, communications and power grids. GOES-M is scheduled to launch from Launch Complex 36-A, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station July 15
