Date/Time Issued: 2015 Jun 10 2347 UTC


 Product(s) or Data Impacted: GOES-15 Products


 Date/Time of Initial Impact: 2015 April 23  20:32 UTC


 Date/Time of Expected End: TBD 
     

Length of Outage: TBD

Details/Specifics of Change: 


As of 1900z Jun 26, Star Tracker 2 on GOES-15 remains offline.  GOES-15 remains fully operational as GOES-WEST, utilizing a single star tracker to maintain attitude control.  Product accuracy continues to remain within specifications approximately 95% of the time.

 

On Jul 6,  Ball presented “patch-1”, a series of diagnostic patches to determine if star tracker 2 can be recovered with a software patch upload. Ball's current focus is on the SRAM and investigation is ongoing. On Jul 7, NOAA executed Ball’s patch-1, which did not produce the hoped-for results.  NOAA developed an additional test for the patch-1 upload and held a teleconference on Friday July 10 to get NASA, Boeing, and Ball concurrence. NOAA plans to execute the follow-on patch-1 testing on Mon, Jul 13 prior to the next anomaly teleconference scheduled for the afternoon of Jul 13. (T. Johnson x4247)

 


In the absence of a significant change of status, the next status update will be published on Friday, Jul 17th.
