Date/Time Issued: April 11, 2016 1700 UTC

Product(s) or Data Impacted: GOES-14 Im= ager and Sounder data

Date= /Time of Initial Impact: =C2=A0 April 14, 2016 =C2=A0~1600 UTC

Date/Time of Expected End: =C2=A0 May = 16, 2016 ~1600 UTC

Length = of Outage: See table in Details.

Details/Specifics of Change: =C2=A0GOES-14 (105W) imagery operatio= n will begin on April 14, 2016 for subsequent SRSOR =C2=A0(Super Rapid Scan= Operations GOES-R) testing in support of GOES-R ABI (starting on April 18,= 2016).

ESPC Operations wi= ll NOT be deriving and distributing GOES-14 science test data; however, use= rs with direct rebroadcast capabilities should exploit this opportunity to = retest their GVAR ingest equipment.=C2=A0 Navigation location for GOES-14 i= s found at within WMO header TBUS09, and is located roughly at 105 degrees = west.

=C2=A0

GOES-14 Normal Mod= e Activities and Operations include:

Month/Day - Acti= vity

04/14 to 04/16 - INR (Image Navigation Registrat= ion) start-up;

04/16 - Start running daily optimized = GOES-East Routine schedules.

04/18* to 05/01* - Suppo= rt GOES-R SRSOR (Super Rapid Scan Operations GOES-R) testing.

05/01* to 05/02* East Routine

05/02* to 05/1= 5* - Support GOES-R SRSOR (Super Rapid Scan Operations GOES-R) testing.

04/18 to 05/15 - Default East Routine schedules will be = run if no SRSOR request is received.

05/15* to 05/16 = East Routine

05/16 - Return to standby mode

=C2=A0

=C2=A0* - Transition from one sch= edule to another schedule will be at 11:15 UTC.

=C2= =A0

Please note: GOES-14 SRSOR (Super Rapid Scan Oper= ation GOES-R) schedule will be generated daily in addition to the default s= chedule.=C2=A0 SRSOR locations will change at 11:15 UTC daily, as will tran= sitions to/from SRSOR/Routine schedules. In addition, the GOES-14 sounder t= iming has been adjusted to match the GOES-13 sounder timing (with the excep= tion of special activities such as Housekeeping) in both Routine and SRSOR = schedules from April 15, through May 16.=C2=A0 All GOES-East and -West oper= ations as well as any Health and Safety concerns take precedence over SRSOR= schedule transitions.

=C2=A0

A= ll new day transitions will be at 0134 UTC and daily housekeeping activitie= s will be at 1900 UTC.
