Use the Product Listbox to view the POES and GOES satellite coverage on this page. At present, NOAA supports a two-POES configuration, each satellite scanning a point on the earth twice daily. The two satellite orbits are staggered such that one satellite will always provide local coverage once during the morning and then twelve hours later in the early evening and the other during the early afternoon and nighttime just past local midnight. This two-POES configuration allows for local coverage every six hours at lower and middle latitudes, and more frequent coverage at high latitudes due to an overlap in the coverage between orbits.
