NASA's next GOES mission, labeled GOES-N, has not yet been rescheduled for launch. At present, the only information from the space agency is the launch will occur "no earlier" than May 18.

Originally scheduled for launch last July 29, the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites mission is designed to provide continuous monitoring for atmospheric triggers for severe weather conditions such as tornadoes, flash floods, hail storms and hurricanes.

The multi-mission GOES N-P satellites comprise the next series in a mission designed to be "a vital contributor to weather, solar and space operations and science," NASA said in a statement.

GOES is a joint program of NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
