GOES-16, launched in November, is undergoing testing and calibration of its many instruments in its geostationary orbit. Wikipedia has a pretty good article explaining some of the capabilities of the new satellite. 

      In Houston, ABC affiliate KTRK-TV, channel 13 has proudly proclaimed their exclusive access to the preliminary data from GOES-16. 

      When fully functional, the new satellite's output should be exciting as well as useful." (3-12-2017)
