Topic: GOES-15 (GOES-West) Yaw Flip Maneuver is scheduled for
September 20,
2012

Date/Time Issued: September 19, 2012 1610 UTC

Product(s) or Data Impacted: GOES-15 (GOES-West) Imager and Sounder
Data,
GOES-13 (GOES-East) Imager.

Date/Time of Initial Impact: September 20, 2012 2030 UTC

Date/Time of Expected End: September 22, 2012 0044 UTC

Length of Outage: 1 hour for maneuver (2030 UTC - 2129 UTC); 27
hours and
15 minutes for recovery period (September 20, 2012 2130 UTC -
September
22, 2012 0045 UTC).

Details/Specifics of Change: GOES-15 (GOES-West) will be performing
a Yaw
Flip Maneuver for one hour on Thursday,  September 20, 2012 from
2030 UTC
through 2129 UTC.  A recovery period will follow immediately and
last until
Saturday, September 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.

If NWS Regions have any operational concerns, please contact the
NCEP SDM
(301) 683-1500 at least 6 hours prior to the maneuver time. The
backup date
for this maneuver is Saturday, September 22, 2012.

GOES-13 (GOES-East) will perform Full Disk coverage from 2015-2144
UTC on
 September 20, 2012.  The GOES-East Full Disk coverage is subject
 to change
should NWS call for Rapid Scans to support Critical Weather Status.

On September 21, 2012 0800-1100 UTC, the following images and soundings
will be shortened or replaced due to navigation constraints during
eclipse.

Images:
0815 UTC PACUS replaced with 0819 UTC SUBCONUS
