The first of a series of GOES Solar X-ray Imagers (SXI) is scheduled to launch in April 2001 to support the NOAA Space Environment Center's mission to monitor and predict solar-terrestrial disturbances. The geosynchronous orbit of the GOES spacecraft gives essentially continuous monitoring (terrestrial eclipses occur during two eclipse seasons at the equinoxes). SXI will obtain full disk images at a one minute cadence in soft x-ray bands in the 6-60 A range. The capabilities and the observing sequence are designed to monitor the Sun for flare locations (associated with particle events observed at Earth), coronal holes (associated with high-speed solar wind streams and geomagnetic disturbances, coronal mass ejections (associated with geomagnetic disturbances), solar active region development (used to predict solar flares, which affect the ionosphere), and other solar phenomena that affect the Earth.
