1997-019A
GOES K was launched in Apr 1997 on the final Atlas I Centaur and renamed NOAA GOES 10. Mass was 2100 kg. GOES 10 was placed in on orbit storage as an operational spare. The plan was to spin-stabilize it while in storage. A solar panel drive failure in Jun 1997 threatened the mission, but operating it in reverse (and flipping the whole satellite) fixed the problem, at the cost of rewriting the ground analysis software.
