Subject: Administrative: GOES-15 (GOES-West) Yaw Flip Maneuver This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_twM4dXDRSkrvGIHGu0oNCA) Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Topic: GOES-15 (GOES-West) Yaw Flip Maneuver is scheduled for September 23, 2015 Date/Time Issued: September 16, 2015 1335 UTC Product(s) or Data Impacted: GOES-15 (GOES-West) Imager and Sounder Data, GOES-13 (GOES-East) Imager. Date/Time of Initial Impact: September 23, 2015 2023 UTC Date/Time of Expected End: September 25, 2015 0044 UTC Length of Outage: 1 hour for maneuver (2023 UTC - 2129 UTC); 27 hours and 15 minutes for recovery period (September 23, 2015 2130 UTC - September 25, 2015 0044 UTC). Details/Specifics of Change: GOES-15 (GOES-West) will be performing a Yaw Flip Maneuver for one hour on Wednesday, September 23, 2015 from 2023 UTC through 2129 UTC. A recovery period will follow immediately and last until September 25, 2015 at 0044 UTC. During the recovery period, routine imager and sounder scans will be performed; however, the navigation may still be out of specifications until the end of the recovery period. No GOES-15 (GOES-West) RSO requests will be approved during the maneuver/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. However, there is no backup date for the Yaw Flip Maneuver. The Yaw Flip Maneuver will continue if Critical Weather is in effect during this time period. GOES-13 (GOES-East) will perform Full Disk coverage from 2015-2144 UTC on September 23, 2015. The GOES-East Full Disk coverage is subject to change should NWS call for Rapid Scans to support Critical Weather Status. On September 24, 2015 0800-1100 UTC, the following images and soundings will be shortened or replaced due to navigation constraints during eclipse.
