Subject: Administrative: Updated Information on GOES-16 Drift and --f40304396880bd586d055fb05e89 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Topic: GOES-16 Drift and Transition Plan Date/Time Issued: December 6, 2017 1845 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 largely unchanged from the November 27, 2017 notification. This notification serves to provide additional specific information. Another notification update will be sent the week of December 11, 2017. All plans and dates are subject to change. On November 30, 2017 between 1300-1430 UTC, five GOES-16 instruments (ABI, GLM, SUVI, SEISS, and EXIS) were placed in safe or diagnostic modes and are not capturing or distributing data. GRB, DCS, HRIT-EMWIN, and SARSAT were disabled due to X-band radio frequency downlink interference. The GOES-16 MAG instrument continues to operate nominally during drift with the exception of two outages during a spacecraft maneuver on the date of drift stop (12/11). After 1430 UTC, GOES-16 began drifting West at a rate of 1.35 degrees per day. It will complete drift on December 11, 2017 when it reaches its final operational location of 75.2 degrees West. On December 6, 2017 at approximately 1900 UTC, the metadata in all GOES-16 data files for all instruments will change from GOES-TEST to GOES-EAST. On December 7, 2017 at 1534 UTC, GOES-13 GVAR and LRIT 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 and LRIT will only be transmitted through GOES-14. GOES-13 GVAR and LRIT 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 and product testing. All instruments will resume nominal operations between December 14-20, 2017. After this time, data flow will resume to external users of the SBN, PDA, GNC-A, and CLASS in the same manner in which they were distributed prior to transition to GOES-EAST. GRB, DCS, HRIT-EMWIN, and SARSAT will be enabled. 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 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. Key points: - November 30, 2017: GOES-16 ABI, GLM, SUVI, SEISS, and EXIS are in safe or diagnostic mode and GRB, DCS, HRIT/EMWIN, and SARSAT are disabled - November 30, 2017: GOES-16 drift began after 1430 UTC - December 6, 2017 at approximately 1900 UTC, the metadata in all GOES-16 data files for all instruments will change from GOES-TEST to GOES-EAST - 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 and LRIT 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.
