美政府为了弥补因研制上出现的麻烦,而推迟发射的下一代静止气象卫星(GOES-Next)的第一颗卫星(GOES-I),决定长时间借用欧洲气象卫星组织的“METEOSAT-3”静止气象卫星。这需将现在的METEOSAT-3卫星离开目前的位置移到西大西洋上空。美政府将配备地面接收设备,健全该卫星移至美大陆上空的体制。预定1992年12月发射的GOES-I,因红外敏感器有缺陷,很可能推 The government of the United States decided to borrow the “METEOSAT-3” of the European meteorological satellite satellites for a long time in order to compensate for the first GOES-I of the next-generation GOES-Next that was postponed due to development troubles. Still meteorological satellite. This will require moving the current METEOSAT-3 satellite from its present location over the Western Atlantic.

The GOES-I, scheduled to be launched in December 1992, is likely to be pushed due to a defect in the infrared sensor
