GOES-11

 2000-022A


GOES L mass is 2218 kg. It was another FS-1300 based GOES I series craft launched by ILS Atlas IIA. Span is 26.9m from the solar sail end to the solar panel trim tab. The spacecraft solar sail is a boom with a conical sail on the end; on the opposite site of the bus there is one solar panel array (two panels) with a small tab on the end.

From 2000 to 2006 GOES 11 was kept drifting back and forward between 98W and 115W. In mid-2006 it was moved to the Pacific at 135W.
