Subject: Administrative: Updated Information on GOES-16 Drift and --001a114d4a382cc74a055ef9c92d Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Topic: GOES-16 Drift and Transition Plan Date/Time Issued: November 27, 2017 1655 UTC Product(s) or Data Impacted: All GOES-16 ABI, GLM, SUVI, SEISS, MAG, and EXIS products Date/Time of Initial Impact: November 30, 2017 1300 UTC Date/Time of Expected End: December 14, 2017 TBD UTC Length of Outage: See details below. Details/Specifics of Change: The GOES-16 drift and transition plan remains unchanged from the November 6, 2017 notification. This notification serves to provide additional specific information. Another notification update will be sent on December 8, 2017. On November 30, 2017 between 1300-1430 UTC, five GOES-16 instruments (ABI, GLM, SUVI, SEISS, and EXIS) will be placed in safe or diagnostic modes and GRB, DCS, HRIT-EMWIN, and SARSAT will be disabled. After 1430 UTC, GOES-16 will begin drifting from its present location of 89.3 degrees West at a rate of 1.41 degrees per day. It will complete drift on December 11, 2017 when it reaches its final operational location of 75.2 degrees West. During the drift period from November 30th-December 11th, ABI, GLM, SUVI, SEISS, and EXIS will not be capturing or distributing data. GRB, DCS, HRIT/EMWIN, and SARSAT are disabled during drift. This is due to X-band radio frequency downlink interference. The GOES-16 MAG instrument will continue to operate nominally during drift with the exception of four outages during spacecraft maneuvers on dates of drift start (11/30) and drift stop (12/11). Those outage periods are: November 30, 2017 from 1530 - 1800 UTC December 1, 2017 from 0315 - 0600 UTC December 10, 2017 from 0215 - 0315 UTC December 10, 2017 from 1415 - 1715 UTC After a multi-day calibration, GOES-16 will resume nominal operations between December 14-20, 2017. On December 7, 2017 GOES-13 GVAR will begin relay through GOES-14 and will be available through both GOES-13 and GOES-14 satellites until December 14, 2017 at which time the GOES-13 GVAR will only be transmitted through GOES-14. GOES-13 GVAR users will need to repoint their antennas to 105 degrees West to maintain receipt of GOES-13 data between December 7th and 14th. Once GOES-16 reaches 75.2 degrees West on December 11, 2017, there will be three days of calibration activity. All instruments will resume nominal operations between December 14-20, 2017 and GOES-16 will officially become GOES-East. There will be a three week period of overlap with GOES-13, after GOES-16 stops drift and instruments resume nominal operation modes. During this period of overlap, GOES-13 GVAR will be relayed through GOES-14. GOES-13 will remain on and provide data until January 2, 2018 at which time the GOES-13 GVAR relay through GOES-14 GVAR will be disabled and the satellite will begin drifting to its storage location at 60 degrees West. Additional information will be communicated as needed. Key points: - November 30, 2017: GOES-16 ABI, GLM, SUVI, SEISS, and EXIS are put in safe or diagnostic mode and GRB, DCS, HRIT/EMWIN, and SARSAT are disable= d between 1300-1430 UTC - November 30, 2017: GOES-16 drift begins after 1430 UTC - December 7, 2017: GOES-13 GVAR relay through GOES-14 GVAR begins (GOES-13 GVAR still transmits until December 14th to allow users time to repoint antennas) - During drift, no instrument data will be captured or distributed from ABI, GLM, EXIS, SUVI, and SEISS. MAG data will still be distributed but with data outages on days of drift start (11/30) and drift stop (12/11) - During drift, GRB, DCS, HRIT/EMWIN, and SARSAT will be disabled - December 11, 2017: GOES-16 drift ends and calibration activities begin - December 14, 2017: GOES-13 GVAR available only through GOES-14 GVAR - December 14-20, 2017: GOES-16 resumes nominal operations and GOES-East operational status after calibration activities - GOES-16 GRB, DCS, HRIT/EMWIN and SARSAT are activated - GOES-16 products continue validation towards Provisional and Full Maturity levels - Provisional Products (ABI L1b and CMI) no longer require =E2=80=98preliminary, non-operational=E2=80=99 data caveat language - No maneuvers / special operations during Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays - No GOES-East transition / interruption during designated Critical Weather Days - January 2, 2018: GOES-13 will stop transmitting data and begin drift to storage location - January 22, 2018: GOES-13 will reach storage location at 60 degrees West Contact Information for Further Information: Kathryn Mozer at Kathryn.Mozer@noaa.gov Web Site(s) for applicable information: See http://www.goes-r.gov/users/transitiontToOperations.html or http://www.ospo.noaa.gov/Operations/GOES/16/transition.html for additional information.
