Date/Time of Initial Impact: March 20, 2012 2021 UTC Date/Time of Expected End: March 22, 2012 0044 UTC Length of Outage: 1 hour and 10 minutes for maneuver (2021 UTC - 2129 UTC); 27 hours and 15 minutes for recovery period (March 20, 2012 2130 UTC - March 22, 2012 0045 UTC). Details/Specifics of Change: GOES-15 (GOES-West) will be performing a Yaw Flip Maneuver for one hour and 10 minutes on Tuesday, March 20, 2012 from 2021 UTC until 2130 UTC. Please note: There is no backup date for this maneuver. A recovery period will follow immediately and last until Thursday, March 22, 2012 at 0044 UTC. During the recovery period, routine imager and sounder scans will be performed; however, the navigation may still be out of specifications until the end of the recovery period. GOES-13 (GOES-East) will perform Full Disk coverage from 2015-2144 UTC on March 20, 2012 On March 21, 2012 0800-1100 UTC, the following images and soundings will be shortened or replaced due to navigation constraints during eclipse.
