An image navigation recovery period will follow immediately and extend to Thursday, September 25, 2014 at 0044 UTC. During the image navigation recovery period, routine imager and sounder scans will be performed and imagery processed. However, image navigation may not meet specifications until the end of the recovery period. From 0800 UTC - 1100 UTC, September 24, 2014, the following GOES-15 images and soundings will be shortened or replaced due to navigation constraints during eclipse: GOES-15 Images - 0815 UTC PACUS -- replaced with 0819 UTC Sub-CONUS 0845 UTC PACUS -- replaced with 0849 UTC Sub-CONUS 0900 UTC Full Disk -- replaced with 0900 UTC Full Disk - Short 0945 UTC PACUS -- replaced with 0949 UTC Sub-CONUS 1015 UTC PACUS -- replaced with 1019 UTC Sub-CONUS 1045 UTC PACUS -- replaced with 1049 UTC Sub-CONUS GOES-15 Soundings - 0801 UTC Limited CONUS -- replaced with 0801 UTC Short CONUS 0924 UTC N. Pacific -- replaced with 0924 UTC Limited N. Pacific 1024 UTC N. Pacific -- replaced with 1024 UTC Limited N. Pacific To mitigate the gap in GOES-15 (GOES-West) coverage during the maneuver, GOES-13 (GOES-East) will perform Full Disk coverage from 2015-2144 UTC, September 23, 2014. The planned GOES-East Full Disk coverage is subject to change should NWS call for Rapid Scan Operations to support Critical Weather conditions. If NWS Regions have any operational concerns, please contact the NCEP SDM (301) 683-1500 at least 6 hours prior to the maneuver time. There is no backup date for the Yaw Flip. *Point of 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.
