GOES M is an FS-1300 based GOES I series craft. It carries a new solar X-ray imager. Like the XRS detector, SXI is mounted on the solar array yoke of GOES. Launch Jun 2001

NOAA ground stations at CDA/Wallops and control center SOCC FB-4/Suitland, MD operate the spacecraft. The SEM is operated by the SEL at Boulder.

Mass is 2279 kg at separation, 1042 kg dry. Centaur mass is 2095 kg at separation; at MECO1 Centaur mass is 6165 kg. Uses 14' fairing and 47" adapter.

Size is 2.0 x 2.2 x 2.4m packed, 5.9 x 4.9 x 26.9m span deployed. from solar array to tip of solar sail.
