Subject: Administrative, Reminder: GOES-15 (GOES-West) Yaw Flip --047d7b2e0a5f29cfb404e6d473ca Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Topic: GOES-15 (GOES-West) Yaw Flip Maneuver is scheduled for September 23, 2013 Date/Time Issued: September 20, 2013 1800 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 23, 2013 2030 UTC Date/Time of Expected End: September 25, 2013 0044 UTC Length of Outage: 1 hour for maneuver (2030 UTC - 2129 UTC); 27 hours and 15 minutes for recovery period (September 23, 2013 2130 UTC - September 25, 2013 0044 UTC). Details/Specifics of Change: GOES-15 (GOES-West) will be performing a Yaw Flip Maneuver for one hour on Monday, September 23, 2013 from 2030 UTC through 2129 UTC. A recovery period will follow immediately and last until Wednesday, September 25, 2013 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 Tuesday, September 24, 2013. GOES-13 (GOES-East) will perform Full Disk coverage from 2015-2144 UTC on September 23, 2013. The GOES-East Full Disk coverage is subject to change should NWS call for Rapid Scans to support critical weather. On September 24, 2013 0800-1100 UTC, the following images and soundings will be shortened or replaced due to navigation constraints during eclipse.
