GOES-S Launch from SLC-41 - a photo on Flickriver

            A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket lifts off from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station carrying the NOAA Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite, or GOES-S. Liftoff was at 5:02 p.m. EST. GOES-S is the second satellite in a series of next-generation NOAA weather satellites. GOES-S will be renamed GOES-17 once it reaches geostationary orbit, approximately 17 days after launch.

The satellite will be operational in late 2017 as NOAA's GOES West to track storm systems, lightning, wildfires, dense fog and other hazards that threaten the western U.S.
