Earth's geosynchronous magnetic field has been measured routinely for over 30 years. Most recently, GOES- 13, the first of a new GOES series built by Boeing, was launched on May 24, 2006. Among the complement of solar and space environment instruments, GOES-13 makes in-situ measurements with two magnetometers built by Science Applications Inc./Nanotesla and energetic particle sensors built by GE/Panametrics (now Assurance Technology Corporation). On June 7, 2006, these instruments were turned on and are now undergoing post-launch testing through December 2006. The magnetometers have a 0.512 s sampling rate and 0.02 nT resolution. In addition to the usual complement of high-energy particle sensors, for the first time GOES now has measurements of electrons from 30 keV to 600 keV and protons from 80 keV to 800 keV, each in 9 look directions and 5 energy channels. The combination of these instruments in geosynchronous orbit provides new and unique opportunities for studying magnetopsheric processes such as storms, substorms, wave-particle interactions, and Earth's radiation belts. Also, in combination with other satellites, there are unique opportunities for improved understanding of large-scale global phenomena. In addition to presenting first results from these instruments, we will show new results of substorm onsets from a multi- spacecraft, multi-instrument perspective that will be helpful for understanding substorms, space weather effects, and future collaborations with programs such as the NASA missions THEMIS and Radiation Belt Storm Probe (RBSP).
