Each temperature transition on September 10 and September 11 will take approximately 20 minutes during the daily housekeeping period prior to the CONUS frame scan at 2101 UTC. The sounder patch will be changed back to "MID" setting on September 23, 2014, during the scheduled Yaw Flip Maneuver and to "LOW" setting on October 16, 2014, during the daily housekeeping period. GOES-15 patch management is necessary to minimize temperature fluctuations around each equinox due to the cooler blanket anomaly and Yaw Flip operations. *Contact 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.
