Subject: Product Outage/Anomaly: GOES-13 (GOES-East): Issued: June 10, This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------020906050701000900050107 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit *Update #25 (final notification for GOES-13 anomaly) * GOES-13 has successfully returned to full operational service as GOES-East at 1545 UTC today. All operations are nominal. Operational level 2 processing and distribution of GOES-13 resumed at that time. We confirmed successful data receipt by all customers. If you find that any products or services are affected, please contact ESPC Operations. GOES-14 Imager and Sounder will remain on until Wednesday, June 12, 2013 at 15:34 UTC to allow users who have their own antennas a little more time to reposition them to receive GOES-13 Imager and Sounder data. * Update #24 *All activities are on schedule for the GOES-13 transition to GOES-East. GOES-13, at 75 degrees West, will return to GOES-East operations today, June 10, 2013, at approximately 1534 -1545 UTC (first image at 1545 UTC). Derived products from GOES-13 will begin immediately following the switchover. RSO and SRSO schedules from GOES-13 will be available to the NWS immediately after the switch is completed. Users will notice the immediate shift of Earth coverage from the current GOES-14 position at 105 degrees West to the GOES-13 position at 75 degrees West longitude. GOES-East products will be generated using GOES-13, and will receive nominal 24x7 monitoring. GINI and Remapper output will be monitored to ensure nominal GOES-East coverage of the CONUS for users of AWIPS and for users of the SATEPSDIST servers within ESPC. Products requiring a climatology of 30 days will not be generated until the requisite number of fixed satellite location days have passed: - ASDTA SMOKE (Automated Smoke Detection and Tracking Algorithm) - Needs 30 days of continuous satellite location. - GASP (GOES Aerosol and Smoke Product) - Needs 30 days of continuous satellite location. - GEO-SST (No GHRSST archive format - needs 30 days on station error statistics, analyzed). - GSIP-FD (GOES Surface Insolation Product-Full Disk) - Needs 30 days of continuous satellite location. - GLST (GOES Land Surface Temperature) - Needs GSIP-FD as input. GOES-13 space weather instruments except Solar X-Ray Imager (SXI) are on. All GOES-East direct readout services (DCS, LRIT, EMWIN, and SAR) were previously switched over to GOES-13. GOES-14 downlinks for DCS, EMWIN and LRIT were turned off. GOES-East direct services have no issues and there has been no outage to the communications packages. GOES-14 Imager and Sounder will remain on for a few days pending successful transition to GOES-13to allow users who have their own antennas a little more time to reposition them to receive GOES-13 Imager and Sounder data. * Update #23 *Current plans are to return GOES-13 to full operational service as GOES-East on Monday, June 10, 2013, at approximately 1534 -1545 UTC (first image at 1545 UTC), pending a final decision on Monday morning. The transition will not be done on a Critical Weather Day. GOES-14 continues to provide the operational GOES-East products and imagery, as GOES-13 is producing imagery and products in a backup mode with GVAR and other broadcast services on. Tests of GOES-13 instrumentation have demonstrated the Imager and Sounder are ready to return to GOES-East operational service. RSO and SRSO schedules from GOES-13 will be available to the NWS immediately after the switch is completed (tentatively on Monday, June 10, 2013, at 1545 UTC). Users will notice the immediate shift of Earth coverage from the current GOES-14 position at 105 degrees West to the GOES-13 position at 75 degrees West longitude. GOES-13 space weather instruments except Solar X-Ray Imager (SXI) are on. GOES-13 derived products will begin immediately following the switchover. GOES-East products will be generated using GOES-13, and will receive nominal 24x7 monitoring. GINI and Remapper output will be monitored to ensure nominal GOES-East coverage of the CONUS for users of AWIPS and for users of the SATEPSDIST servers within ESPC. Products requiring a climatology of 30 days will not be generated until the requisite number of fixed satellite location days have passed: - ASDTA SMOKE (Automated Smoke Detection and Tracking Algorithm) - Needs 30 days of continuous satellite location. - GASP (GOES Aerosol and Smoke Product) - Needs 30 days of continuous satellite location. - GEO-SST (No GHRSST archive format - needs 30 days on station error statistics, analyzed). - GSIP-FD (GOES Surface Insolation Product-Full Disk) - Needs 30 days of continuous satellite location. - GLST (GOES Land Surface Temperature) - Needs GSIP-FD as input. In the meantime, GOES-14 is providing GOES-East coverage from its position at 105 degrees West. It will be providing GOES-East coverage through the weekend. Product operations remain nominal. All GOES-East direct readout services (DCS, LRIT, EMWIN, and SAR) were previously switched over to GOES-13. GOES-14 downlinks for DCS, EMWIN and LRIT were turned off. GOES-East direct services have no issues and there has been no outage to the communications packages. * Update #22 * The planned GOES-13' return to GOES-East operations scheduled for today, June 6, 2013 at 1534 UTC, has been POSTPONED due to a Critical Weather Day and Tropical Storm Andrea. The outage will be rescheduled for a date yet to be determined, but no sooner than Monday, June 10, 2013. There are no other operational issues warranting postponement, and GOES-13 re-activation is proceeding nominally. GOES-13 Imager and Sounder are on and operating nominally, and thanks to outgassing activities, the noise in GOES-13 Sounder shortwave data has been reduced. Tests of GOES-13 instrumentation have demonstrated the Imager and Sounder are ready to return to GOES-East operational service. GOES-14 will be providing GOES-East coverage through the upcoming weekend from its position at 105 degrees West and is available to provide Rapid Scan Operations as needed. It will continue to operate as GOES-East until GOES-13 is restored to GOES-East Operations early next week. All GOES direct readout services (DCS, LRIT, EMWIN, and SAR) were switched over to GOES-13. DCS, LRIT, EMWIN and SAR have no issues and there has been no outage to the communications packages. All GOES-13 space weather instruments except Solar X-Ray Imager (SXI) are on. GOES-15 is providing GOES-West coverage. *Update #21 * GOES-13, at 75 degrees West, will return to GOES-East operations on Thursday, June 6, 2013, at approximately 1534 -1545 UTC (first image at 1545 UTC). Derived products from GOES-13 will begin immediately following the switchover. GOES-13 re-activation is proceeding nominally. GOES-13 Sounder remains off during the outgassing process. The outgassing is proceeding nominally, and is being done to reduce noise and improve the medium and short-wave sounder channel products. The outgassing will end on June 5, 2013, at approximately 0359 UTC followed by a cooling off period. Sounder will be turned on and begin imaging on June 6, 2013, at approximately 0030 UTC and will be 'within specifications' at approximately 0359 UTC. All GOES direct readout services (DCS, LRIT, EMWIN, etc.) except SAR were switched over to GOES-13 today, June 4, 2013. Specifically, GOES DCS services were switched back to GOES-13 on June 4, 2013, at 1530 UTC. GOES DCS has no issues and there has been no outage to the communications packages. GOES SARSAT is not tracking GOES-13 at this point. The plan is to switch back to GOES-13 tomorrow, June 5, 2013. There are no SARSAT issues and nominal operations continue. Direct readout users can receive GOES-14 via the GVAR broadcast stream until Monday, June 10, 2013 (time TBD). All GOES-13 space weather instruments except Solar X-Ray Imager (SXI) are on. GOES-14 is providing GOES-East coverage from its position at 105 degrees West and is available to provide Rapid Scan Operations as needed. GOES-14 will continue to operate as GOES-East until GOES-13 is restored to GOES-East Operations, currently slated for June 6, 2013. GOES-15 is providing GOES-West coverage. *Update#20:* GOES-13 recovery efforts continue as the imager and sounder are providing data for testing purposes ONLY from 75 degrees West. GOES-13 is still in INR recovery, so imagery is not yet within specifications. NESDIS will verify and validate the GOES-13 products and services over the next several days. The sounder however, will not be available once outgassing commences at approximately 0030 UTC on June 1, 2013 until outgassing concludes at approximately 0000 UTC on June 6, 2013. Outgassing will reduce noise and improve medium and short-wave sounder channel products. If products and services receive a positive review, the current planning is that they will be made available to users at the earliest on June 6, 2013. Direct readout users who wish to examine the data should be aware that the data are for testing purposes only at this time. Any feedback direct readout users wish to provide may be directed to the 24-hour ESPC Help Desk at ESPCOperations@noaa.gov GOES-14 is providing GOES-East coverage from its position at 105 degrees West and is available to provide Rapid Scan Operations as needed. GOES-East derived products are being successfully generated, with exception of those that require 30 days of continuous satellite location. There are no current plans to drift GOES-14 from its current location at 105 degrees West. Due to the location of GOES-14 at a longitude further West than the nominal GOES-East location, the CONUS imagery at the top and half of every hour (HH00 UTC and HH30 UTC) does not capture the Puerto Rico vicinity. To mitigate the situation, those two CONUS frames were modified today, effective at 1515 UTC. The frames are modified in two ways: 1. The eastern edge of the CONUS frame will move farther East capturing Puerto Rico at approximately 64 degrees West and 2. The northern edge of the CONUS frame will move farther south near the northern extent of James Bay in Canada at approximately 55 degrees North. GOES-15 is providing GOES-West coverage. The GOES satellites will remain in this configuration until further notice. ** Update#19:* * GOES-14 is providing GOES-East coverage from its position at 105 degrees West and is available to provide Rapid Scan Operations as needed.

Reactivation of the instruments will begin at 1900 UTC and imagery will become available via GVAR by 2200 UTC. GOES-13 will still be in INR recovery, so imagery is not initially expected to be within specifications. NESDIS will verify and validate the GOES-13 products and services over the next several days and also conduct sounder outgassing procedures to improve the products from the sounder instrument.

GOES-East derived products are being successfully generated, with exception of those that require 30 days of continuous satellite location. There are no current plans to drift GOES-East from its current location at 105 degrees West. GOES-13 remains out of service with no estimate on return to operations at this time. It was successfully brought out of storage mode for testing last night, and will be monitored for 24 hours. GOES-14 will continue to operate as GOES-East while GOES-13 is being checked out. Root cause investigation continues on the GOES-13 anomaly. GOES-15 is providing GOES-West coverage. The GOES satellites will remain in this configuration until further notice. * Update#16: * GOES-14 is providing GOES-East coverage. GOES-14 product processing and distribution continues to be nominal. GOES-14 is stationary at 105 degrees West with no current plans to drift east. The imagery has approached normal tolerance for navigation at an accelerated rate, which will allow a return to normal operations ahead of schedule at 0135 UTC on May 24, 2013. Both Routine and Rapid Scan (RSO) imaging schedules will be available at that time. GOES-15 terminated full disk imaging and returned to the routine West schedule at 1000 UTC on May 23, 2013. GOES-13 will remain in storage mode while the anomaly is being investigated. There is no estimate on return to operations at this time. Status of Direct Readout Services: - SARSAT is collecting data through GOES-12 (GOES-South America) until further notice and should experience no loss of coverage. - GOES-East GVAR users need to re-point their antennas to GOES-14 at 105 degrees West in order to receive the GOES-14 GVAR broadcast data stream. GOES-14 GVAR will not be transmitted through GOES-13 channels while GOES-13 recovery efforts continue. Since the recovery schedule is presently unknown, users should consider their near-term needs against the efforts required to re-point to GOES-14. - GOES DCS is collecting data from both GOES-12 (GOES-South America) and GOES-14 and users can collect their data either by pointing their antenna at either satellite, connecting to DCS-1 and DCS-3 or through the internet to the LRGS. - LRIT is up and running on GOES-14, and users can receive imagery by pointing their antenna to 105 degrees West. - EMWIN is running on GOES-14 and GOES-12 (GOES-South America.

Update #25 (final notification for GOES-13 anomaly)

GOES-13 has successfully returned to full operational service as GOES-East at 1545 UTC today.  All operations are nominal. Operational level 2 processing and distribution of GOES-13 resumed at that time.  We confirmed successful data receipt by all customers.  If you find that any products or services are affected, please contact ESPC Operations.

GOES-14 Imager and Sounder will remain on until Wednesday, June 12, 2013 at 15:34 UTC to allow users who have their own antennas a little more time to reposition them to receive GOES-13 Imager and Sounder data.


Update #24

All activities are on schedule for the GOES-13 transition to GOES-East.  GOES-13, at 75 degrees West, will return to GOES-East operations today, June 10, 2013, at approximately 1534 -1545 UTC (first image at 1545 UTC). Derived products from GOES-13 will begin immediately following the switchover. RSO and SRSO schedules from GOES-13 will be available to the NWS immediately after the switch is completed. Users will notice the immediate shift of Earth coverage from the current GOES-14 position at 105 degrees West to the GOES-13 position at 75 degrees West longitude.

GOES-East products will be generated using GOES-13, and will receive nominal 24x7 monitoring. GINI and Remapper output will be monitored to ensure nominal GOES-East coverage of the CONUS for users of AWIPS and for users of the SATEPSDIST servers within ESPC. Products requiring a climatology of 30 days will not be generated until the requisite number of fixed satellite location days have passed:
- ASDTA SMOKE (Automated Smoke Detection and Tracking Algorithm) - Needs 30 days of continuous satellite location.
- GASP (GOES Aerosol and Smoke Product) - Needs 30 days of continuous satellite location.
- GEO-SST (No GHRSST archive format - needs 30 days on station error statistics, analyzed).
- GSIP-FD (GOES Surface Insolation Product-Full Disk) - Needs 30 days of continuous satellite location.
- GLST (GOES Land Surface Temperature) - Needs GSIP-FD as input.

GOES-13 space weather instruments except Solar X-Ray Imager (SXI) are on.

All GOES-East direct readout services (DCS, LRIT, EMWIN, and SAR) were previously switched over to GOES-13. GOES-14 downlinks for DCS, EMWIN and LRIT were turned off. GOES-East direct services have no issues and there has been no outage to the communications packages.

GOES-14 Imager and Sounder will remain on for a few days pending successful transition to GOES-13 to allow users who have their own antennas a little more time to reposition them to receive GOES-13 Imager and Sounder data. 


Update #23

Current plans are to return GOES-13 to full operational service as GOES-East on Monday, June 10, 2013, at approximately 1534 -1545 UTC (first image at 1545 UTC), pending a final decision on Monday morning. The transition will not be done on a Critical Weather Day.

GOES-14 continues to provide the operational GOES-East products and imagery, as GOES-13 is producing imagery and products in a backup mode with GVAR and other broadcast services on.

Tests of GOES-13 instrumentation have demonstrated the Imager and Sounder are ready to return to GOES-East operational service. RSO and SRSO schedules from GOES-13 will be available to the NWS immediately after the switch is completed (tentatively on Monday, June 10, 2013, at 1545 UTC). Users will notice the immediate shift of Earth coverage from the current GOES-14 position at 105 degrees West to the GOES-13 position at 75 degrees West longitude.

GOES-13 space weather instruments except Solar X-Ray Imager (SXI) are on.

GOES-13 derived products will begin immediately following the switchover. GOES-East products will be generated using GOES-13, and will receive nominal 24x7 monitoring. GINI and Remapper output will be monitored to ensure nominal GOES-East coverage of the CONUS for users of AWIPS and for users of the SATEPSDIST servers within ESPC. Products requiring a climatology of 30 days will not be generated until the requisite number of fixed satellite location days have passed:
- ASDTA SMOKE (Automated Smoke Detection and Tracking Algorithm) - Needs 30 days of continuous satellite location.
- GASP (GOES Aerosol and Smoke Product) - Needs 30 days of continuous satellite location.
- GEO-SST (No GHRSST archive format - needs 30 days on station error statistics, analyzed).
- GSIP-FD (GOES Surface Insolation Product-Full Disk) - Needs 30 days of continuous satellite location.
- GLST (GOES Land Surface Temperature) - Needs GSIP-FD as input.

In the meantime, GOES-14 is providing GOES-East coverage from its position at 105 degrees West. It will be providing GOES-East coverage through the weekend. Product operations remain nominal.

All GOES-East direct readout services (DCS, LRIT, EMWIN, and SAR) were previously switched over to GOES-13. GOES-14 downlinks for DCS, EMWIN and LRIT were turned off. GOES-East direct services have no issues and there has been no outage to the communications packages.

Update #22

The planned GOES-13' return to GOES-East operations scheduled for today, June 6, 2013 at 1534 UTC, has been POSTPONED due to a Critical Weather Day and Tropical Storm Andrea. The outage will be rescheduled for a date yet to be determined, but no sooner than Monday, June 10, 2013.  There are no other operational issues warranting postponement, and GOES-13 re-activation is proceeding nominally.

GOES-13 Imager and Sounder are on and operating nominally, and thanks to outgassing activities, the noise in GOES-13 Sounder shortwave data has been reduced. Tests of GOES-13 instrumentation have demonstrated the Imager and Sounder are ready to return to GOES-East operational service.

GOES-14 will be providing GOES-East coverage through the upcoming weekend from its position at 105 degrees West and is available to provide Rapid Scan Operations as needed.  It will continue to operate as GOES-East until GOES-13 is restored to GOES-East Operations early next week.

All GOES direct readout services (DCS, LRIT, EMWIN, and SAR) were switched over to GOES-13. DCS, LRIT, EMWIN and SAR have no issues and there has been no outage to the communications packages.

All GOES-13 space weather instruments except Solar X-Ray Imager (SXI) are on.

GOES-15 is providing GOES-West coverage.

Update #21

GOES-13, at 75 degrees West, will return to GOES-East operations on Thursday, June 6, 2013, at approximately 1534 -1545 UTC (first image at 1545 UTC). Derived products from GOES-13 will begin immediately following the switchover.

GOES-13 re-activation is proceeding nominally. GOES-13 Sounder remains off during the outgassing process. The outgassing is proceeding nominally, and is being done to reduce noise and improve the medium and short-wave sounder channel products. The outgassing will end on June 5, 2013, at approximately 0359 UTC followed by a cooling off period. Sounder will be turned on and begin imaging on June 6, 2013, at approximately 0030 UTC and will be ‘within specifications’ at approximately 0359 UTC.

All GOES direct readout services (DCS, LRIT, EMWIN, etc.) except SAR were switched over to GOES-13 today, June 4, 2013. Specifically, GOES DCS services were switched back to GOES-13 on June 4, 2013, at 1530 UTC. GOES DCS has no issues and there has been no outage to the communications packages.

GOES SARSAT is not tracking GOES-13 at this point. The plan is to switch back to GOES-13 tomorrow, June 5, 2013. There are no SARSAT issues and nominal operations continue.

Direct readout users can receive GOES-14 via the GVAR broadcast stream until Monday, June 10, 2013 (time TBD).

All GOES-13 space weather instruments except Solar X-Ray Imager (SXI) are on.

GOES-14 is providing GOES-East coverage from its position at 105 degrees West and is available to provide Rapid Scan Operations as needed. GOES-14 will continue to operate as GOES-East until GOES-13 is restored to GOES-East Operations, currently slated for June 6, 2013.

GOES-15 is providing GOES-West coverage.

Update#20:
 
GOES-13 recovery efforts continue as the imager and sounder are providing data for testing purposes ONLY from 75 degrees West.  GOES-13 is still in INR recovery, so imagery is not yet within specifications.  NESDIS will verify and validate the GOES-13 products and services over the next several days.  The sounder however, will not be available once outgassing commences at approximately 0030 UTC on June 1, 2013 until outgassing concludes at approximately 0000 UTC on June 6, 2013.  Outgassing will reduce noise and improve medium and short-wave sounder channel products.  If products and services receive a positive review, the current planning is that they will be made available to users at the earliest on June 6, 2013.  Direct readout users who wish to examine the data should be aware that the data are for testing purposes only at this time.  Any feedback direct readout users wish to provide may be directed to the 24-hour ESPC Help Desk at ESPCOperations@noaa.gov
 
GOES-14 is providing GOES-East coverage from its position at 105 degrees West and is available to provide Rapid Scan Operations as needed. GOES-East derived products are being successfully generated, with exception of those that require 30 days of continuous satellite location.  There are no current plans to drift GOES-14 from its current location at 105 degrees West.  Due to the location of GOES-14 at a longitude further West than the nominal GOES-East location,  the CONUS imagery at the top and half of every hour (HH00 UTC and HH30 UTC) does not capture the Puerto Rico vicinity.  To mitigate the situation, those two CONUS frames were modified today, effective at 1515 UTC.  The frames are modified in two ways:  1. The eastern edge of the CONUS frame will move farther East capturing Puerto Rico at approximately 64 degrees West and 2. The northern edge of the CONUS frame will move farther south near the northern extent of James Bay in Canada at approximately 55 degrees North.

Update#14: GOES-13 has been placed into storage mode while the anomaly is investigated.  There is no new information or estimated return to service at this time. 

GOES-14 direct readout services (SAR, DCS, etc) are operational; payload activation is complete and recovery mode imaging commenced at approximately 0800 UTC May 23, 2013. Until recovery mode is complete, the imagery should not be considered within normal tolerance for navigation. Transition to the normal routine schedule should take place at approximately 1600 UTC on May 23, 2013. RSO scheduling will become available at 1200 UTC on May 24, 2013. The ingest and distribution channels of GOES-East data have not been changed, so the satepsdist ADDE servers are automatically receiving GOES-14 data. Regarding GOES-East GVAR, users will need to repoint their antennas to GOES-14 at 105 degrees West in order to receive the GOES-14 GVAR broadcast data stream. GOES-14 GVAR will not be transmitted through GOES-13 channels while GOES-13 recovery efforts continue. Since the recovery schedule is presently unknown, users should consider their near-term needs against the efforts required to repoint to GOES-14.

GOES-15 (West) remains in full disk mode and will continue in that schedule until further notice.

Update#13: GOES-13 has been placed into storage mode while the anomaly is investigated.  There is no new information or estimated return to service at this time. 
GOES-14: Comm services (SAR, DCS, etc) are operational; payload activation is complete and recovery mode imaging commenced at approximately 0800 UTC May 23, 2013.  Until recovery mode is complete, the imagery should not be considered within normal tolerance for navigation.  Transition to the normal routine schedule (or RSO if requested) should take place at approximately 1600 UTC on May 23, 2013.  The ingest and distribution channels of GOES-East data have not been changed, so the satepsdist ADDE servers are automatically receiving GOES-14 data.  Regarding GOES-East GVAR, users will need to repoint their antennas to GOES-14 at 105 degrees West in order to receive the GOES-14 GVAR broadcast data stream.  GOES-14 GVAR will not be transmitted through GOES-13 channels while GOES-13 recovery efforts continue.  Since the recovery schedule is presently unknown, users should consider their near-term needs against the efforts required to repoint to GOES-14.

Update#7:  GOES-13 has been placed into storage mode while the anomaly is investigated.  There is no new information at this time.

GOES-14 imaging should be available starting at about 0600Z tomorrow, May 23rd.  The imager will start up in a recovery mode, which has reduced sectors so that additional star calibrations can be taken. Until this is complete, the imagery should not be considered within normal tolerance.

Transition to the normal schedule should take place about 1400Z tomorrow, May 23rd.

Update#6:  GOES-13 has been placed into storage mode while the anomaly is investigated.  There is no new information at this time.

GOES-14 imaging should be available starting at about 0600Z tomorrow, May 23rd.  The imager will start up in a recovery mode, which has reduced sectors so that additional star calibrations can be taken. Until this is complete, the imagery should not be considered within normal tolerance.

Transition to the normal schedule should take place about 1400Z tomorrow, May 23rd.

Update#5: Recovery efforts for GOES-13 continue and the spacecraft health and safety are nominal.  GOES-14 is being activated and the first images will be available @ 0500 UTC on Thurs. May 23rd, 2013.

Update#4: Recovery efforts for GOES-13 continue and the spacecraft health and safety are nominal.  GOES-14 is being activated and the first images will be available @ 0500 UTC on Thurs. May 23rd, 2013.
 
Update#3: Initial GOES-13 recovery procedure was unsuccessful. Return to service time line being reevaluated.

Update#2: GOES-13 anomaly status has not changed, the Engineer Team is commanding the satellite after consulting the support team.  Commanding will take approx. 5 hours and if successful should return to service shortly after that.

Update#1: GOES-13 anomaly continues, the Engineers are on site. Barring further anomalies the expected return to services is approx. 14 hours from this update.
