These scan reversals are being conducted as an effort to extend the operational lifespan of the scan motor, thus, the ATMS instrument. Each reversal will result in an approximate one minute science data outage. The scan reversals will be scheduled to execute on the ascending side of the orbit when crossing 75N latitude and will occur no more than once per day. The first daily execution will be at 01:01:30 UTC on August 24. **// *Contact Information for Further Information: *ESPC Operations at ESPCOperations@noaa.gov and 301-817-3880 * * *Web Site(s) for applicable information:* N/A This message was sent from ESPC.Notification@noaa.gov .
