March 4, 2010 - Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
The Delta IV carrying GOES-P lifted off at 6:57 p.m. EST from Launch Complex 37B at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
After reaching orbit, GOES-P will become GOES-15. The satellite will be used to monitor and predict weather, measure ocean temperatures, perform climate studies, and detect hazards with its emergency beacon support and Search and Rescue Transponder.
GOES-P was built by Boeing for NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA.
