Topic: GOES-12/13/14/15 Fall 2012 Solar RFI predicted times are now
available.

Date/Time Issued: October 4, 2012 1445 UTC

Product(s) or Data Impacted: GOES-12/13/14/15 Imager and Sounder
Data plus
Ancillary Services (GVAR, SAR, LRIT, EMWIN, DCS, etc.)

Date/Time of Initial Impact: September 28, 2012 1532 UTC

Date/Time of Expected End: October 18, 2012 2055 UTC

Length of Outage: See table in details.

Details/Specifics of Change: The potential for solar radio frequency
interference (RFI) with a satellite downlink circuit will occur
whenever
the Sun passes into the beam of the ground station receiving antenna.

We received the following information from our Mission Operations
Division
concerning the potential for outages of the GOES data stream including
GVAR
(GOES VARiable) Imager and Sounder, EMWIN (Emergency Managers Weather
Information Network), SAR (Search and Rescue), Low Rate Information
Transmission (LRIT), GOES Data Collection System (DCS), Sensor Data
(SD),
Telemetry and Command (T&C), Weather Facsimile (WEFAX), Data Collection
Platform Report (DCPR), Multi-use data link (MDL), etc.

The Wallops and Fairbanks Command and Data Acquisition Stations
(CDAs) and
Environmental Satellite Processing Center (ESPC) receiving antennas may
experience periods of Solar RFI as predicted below. Solar RFI can cause
loss of telemetry lock and command capability, as well as degradation
or
loss in the GVAR data.

Solar RFI predicted times for the Fall 2012:

GOES-12 (GOES-South America)
28 September =96 5 October, 2012 at 1532 - 1544 UTC, Wallops CDA,

impact: SD, GVAR, T&C, EMWIN, LRIT,  WEFAX, DCS, DCPR, SAR, MDL
Please note: GOES-13 remains out of service with no estimate on
return to
operations at this time.

GOES-14 (GOES-East)

11 October, 2012 at 1820 - 1828 UTC
12 October, 2012 at 1819 - 1822 UTC
Please note: GOES-14 sliding times are due to the drift maneuver
currently
underway.
