GOES 7 known as GOES-H before becoming operational is an American satellite. It was originally built as a weather satellite and formed part of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite system. Originally built as a ground spare GOES-H was launched in 1987 due to delays with the next series of satellites. It was operated by NOAA until 1999 before being leased to Peacesat who use it as a communications satellite.
