At the Boeing Delta Operations Center, the Delta IV second stage is lifted and moved to a rotation stand so that the nozzles can be installed. A deployment test will follow. The Delta IV rocket will be used for the 2005 launching of the GOES-N weather satellite for NASA and NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). The first in a series of three advanced weather satellites including GOES-O and GOES-P, the GOES-N will provide continuous monitoring necessary for intensive data analysis. It will provide a constant vigil for the atmospheric triggers of severe weather conditions such as tornadoes, flash floods, hail storms and hurricanes. When these conditions develop, GOES-N will be able to monitor storm development and track their movements. {highres} 3008 x 2000 {highsize} 488549 {hightype} JPEG {keywords} NASA,KSC,Kennedy Space Center {lowres} 320 x 212 {lowsize} 77727 {lowtype} GIF {mediumres} 1024 x 680 {mediumsize} 107780 {mediumtype} JPEG {number} KSC-04PD-2293 {slideres} 120 x 108 {slidesize} 15500 {slidetype} GIF {tinyres} 100 x 66 {tinysize} 8288 {tinytype} GIF {title} KSC-04PD-2293 {type} Image {end}
