The GOES-U mission is targeted to launch in April 2024 on a Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. GOES-U is the fourth and final spacecraft in the GOES-R Series of geostationary weather satellites operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The GOES-R Series is a joint effort between NASA and NOAA and includes GOES-R, GOES-S, GOES-T, and GOES-U.

Virgin Orbit gearing up for autumn launch and a busy 2022By Mike Wall July 07, 2021 Virgin Orbit is gearing up for a third launch this year — and an even busier 2022.The company aced its second spaceflight in less than six months last Wednesday (June 30), lofting seven small satellites to orbit on a mission named "Tubular Bells: Part 1," after the first track on the first album ever released by Virgin Group founder Richard Branson's Virgin Records.Virgin Orbit is still analyzing the data from "Tubular Bells: Part 1." But the early returns suggest that the flight was completely nominal, keeping the company on track for one more flight this year, likely in the fall, Virgin Orbit CEO Dan Hart told Space.com. If all goes well with that third flight, the company aims to launch six missions in 2022 and boost the cadence significantly again the following year."As we go through next year, we will be hitting the gas, in our production team primarily, just to get some more rate, and ramping up to at least double that [launch rate] in '23," Hart said.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has completed an environmental review that's brought Virgin Orbit a step closer to using the runways of Andersen Air Force Base to stage future launches of small satellites using its LauncherOne rocket. "Virgin Orbit proposes to conduct a maximum of 25 launches over the next five years (2021-2025) to place small satellites into a variety of low earth orbits," FAA officials wrote in a statement. "The completion of the environmental review process does not guarantee the FAA will issue a launch license to Virgin Orbit."
Starlink launches from Florida’s Space Coast are expected to resume as soon as October.
