A patch was rigged using a backup satellite and some data from European governments. It happened again two days after the Moore Oklahoma Tornado disaster: GOES-East went on the blink. With GOES-West and other US weather satellites also nearing the end of their lifespan, these failures offer a harrowing glimpse of the price to pay if still they don't invest in the next generation of weather-watching technology.
