Subject: Administrative: GOES-13 Test and Rebroadcast Change is This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------040105050202010707050805 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit *Topic: *A Test of GOES-13 Imager and Sounder data is scheduled for October 15, 2012 *Date/Time Issued:***October 15, 2012 1230 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 15, 2012 1545 UTC *Date/Time of Expected End:* October 16, 2012 1545 UTC *Length of Test:***24 hours *Details/Specifics of Change: *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 15, 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. *Contact Information for Further Information: *ESPC Operations at ESPCOperations@noaa.gov at 301-817-3880 *Web Site(s) for applicable information:* See http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/SATS/messages.html for this and other satellite related messages.
