Summary
GOES-T launched on an United Launch Alliance Atlas V 541 from Space Launch Complex 41, Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA on March 1, 2022. It was United Launch Alliance's 150th launch, 2nd this year and humanity's 6,204th orbital launch attempt. It was the 8th Atlas V 541 flight and the 1st this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO). GOES 18, one of 2 catalogued objects, reached a 8,900 × 35,282 km orbit inclined 9.5°. 2 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
