Subject: Administrative: Scheduled GOES-15 (GOES-West) Yaw Flip This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_fLHoWgO62YKEssBey6eGMA) Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT *Topic:* GOES-15 (GOES-West) Yaw Flip Maneuver is scheduled for March 19, 2015 *Date/Time Issued:* March 18, 2015 1520 UTC *Product(s) or Data Impacted:* GOES-15 (GOES-West) Imager and Sounder Data and GOES-13 (GOES-East) Imager Data *Date/Time of Initial Impact:* March 19, 2015 2023 UTC *Date/Time of Expected End:* March 21, 2015 0044 UTC *Length of Data Impact/Outage:* 1 hour loss of GOES-15 imager and sounder data from 2023 UTC - 2129 UTC to support maneuver activity; 27 hours and 15 minutes for GOES-15 image navigation recovery period, from 2130 UTC, March 19, 2015 - 0044 UTC, March 21, 2015 *Details/Specifics of Change:* GOES-15 (GOES-West) will be performing a Yaw Flip Maneuver for one hour on Thursday, March 19, 2015 from 2023 UTC through 2129 UTC. A recovery period will follow immediately and last until 0044 UTC, March 21, 2015. During the recovery period, GOES-15 Routine imager and sounder scans will be broadcast. However, the navigation may be out of specification until the end of the recovery period. GOES-15 (GOES-West) Rapid Scan Operations (RSO) will not be allowed from the start of the maneuver activity to the end of the maneuver 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. Please note, there is no backup date for the Yaw Flip. GOES-13 (GOES-East) will perform Full Disk scans from 2015 UTC - 2144 UTC on March 19, 2015 to mitigate the temporary loss of data coverage from GOES-15. The GOES-East Full Disk coverage is subject to change in the event NWS requests Rapid Scan Operations to support Critical Weather Day status. From 0800 UTC - 1100 UTC, March 20, 2015, the following GOES-15 imager and sounder scans will be shortened or replaced due to navigation constraints during the spring eclipse period: _Modified GOES-15 Images_ 0815 UTC PACUS -- replaced with 0819 UTC SUBCONUS 0845 UTC PACUS -- replaced with 0849 UTC SUBCONUS 0900 UTC Full Disk -- replaced with 0900 UTC Full Disk Short 0945 UTC PACUS -- replaced with 0949 UTC SUBCONUS 1015 UTC PACUS -- replaced with 1019 UTC SUBCONUS 1045 UTC PACUS -- replaced with 1049 UTC SUBCONUS _Modified GOES-15 Soundings_ 0801 UTC Limited CONUS -- replaced with 0801 UTC CONUS Short 0924 UTC N.
