                         Operational Environmental Satellite-10 (GOES-10) and -12 
                         (GOES-12), mainly beyond their retirement as operational 
                         satellites in the United States, in support of meteorological 
                         activities in South America (SA). These satellites were maneuvered 
                         by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to 
                         approximately 60°W, enabling other countries in Central and South 
                         America to benefit from their ongoing measurements. The extended 
                         usefulness of GOES-10 and -12 was only possible as a result of a 
                         new image geolocalization system developed by NOAA for correcting 
                         image distortions and evaluated in collaboration with the 
                         Brazilian National Institute for Space Research. The extension 
                         allowed GOES-10 and -12 to monitor SA for an additional 7 years 
                         proving the efficiency of this navigation capability implemented 
                         for the first time in the GOES series well beyond the expected 
                         satellites lifetime. Such successful capability is incorporated in 
                         the new-generation GOES-R series. This practical and technological 
                         experience shows the importance of communication between 
                         scientists from the United States and SA for advancing Earths 
                         monitoring system through the development of novel software and 
                         derived products. For SA in particular, GOES-10 and -12 were 
                         employed operationally to monitor dry spells, relevant for 
                         agriculture and forest fire management and to nowcast severe 
                         weather for flash flood warnings. Additionally, GOES-12 detected 
                         the first registered tropical hurricane over the Brazilian coast. 
                         This paper describes some of the technical and operational 
                         challenges faced in extending the GOES-10 and -12 missions to 
                         provide coverage over South America and emphasizes the usefulness 
                         of their ongoing measurements benefiting Brazilian environmental 
                         monitoring.",
