Subject: (UPDATE) Administrative: GOES-13 Test and Rebroadcast Change,
--047d7b621b1e764da504cbdfd2be
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Update: GOES-13 24-hour GVAR transmitting through GOES-14 was
completed at
1544 UTC on October 12, 2012.  GOES-13 Sounder outgassing started
at 1600
UTC on October 12, 2012. It will continue until 1400 UTC on October 15,
2012.  Another GOES-13 24-hour Test is scheduled to start at 1544
UTC on
October 15, 2012.

Topic: A Test of GOES-13 Imager and Sounder data is scheduled for
October
11, 2012

Date/Time Issued: October 12, 2012 1713 UTC

Product(s) or Data Impacted: GOES-13 Imager and Sounder Data.  GOES-14
users will receive GOES-13 data during the test period.

Date/Time of Initial Impact: October 11, 2012 1545 UTC

Date/Time of Expected End: October 12, 2012 1545 UTC

Length of Test: 24 hours

Details/Specifics of Change:
Update: GOES-13 24-hour GVAR transmitting through GOES-14 was
completed at
1544 UTC on October 12, 2012.  GOES-13 Sounder outgassing started
at 1600
UTC on October 12, 2012. It will continue until 1400 UTC on October 15,
2012.  Another GOES-13 24-hour Test is scheduled to start at 1544
UTC on
October 15, 2012.

The Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO) is planning
to begin
a 24 hour quantitative evaluation test of GOES-13 Imager and Sounder
data
and level 2 products at approximately 1545 UTC on October 11, 2012.
This
will require a complex rebroadcast and distribution scenario,
where GOES-13
data will be broadcast via GOES-14 while we continue to broadcast the
operational GOES-14 data via GOES-13.  Upon conclusion of the test
after 24
hours, the rebroadcast scenario will return to distribution of
GOES-14 via
both GOES-14 and GOES-13 GVAR transmissions while GOES-13 returns to
standby status.  No actions are required by users for the purposes
of this
test.  Results will be evaluated following the 24 hour test to
determine
next steps with the GOES constellation.

Please note:  GOES-13 is currently out of service with no estimate on
return to operations at this time.  GOES-14 operations and all
GOES product
operations are nominal.  GOES-14 is drifting 0.90 degrees per day
to the
East.
