Date/Time Issued: August 09, 2016 1234Z Products or Data Impacted: ATMS Date/Time of Initial Impact: August 09, 2016 14:43Z Date/Time of Expected End: August 09, 2016 14:56Z Length of Outage: Approximately 13 min. Details/Specifics of Change: On August 9, 2016 14:43Z, during S-NPP Svalbard contact 24789, ATMS will be placed into safe-hold to facilitate the upload of an ATMS Flight Software patch, which is implemented to improve the stability of the ATMS 1553 communication interface. The instrument is planned to be commanded back to operate prior to the end of the contact, 14:56Z. A brief data outage should be expected from the ATMS instrument during this contact. Any data missing from duration of safe-hold is not recoverable. In support of this planned activity, the scan reversals executing on contact 24787 [11:20:28--11:34:29] and 24788 [16:26:41--16:38:47] will be single reversals rather than the sequence of timed reversals seen over the past week; it is likely there will be some time shifting compared to past executions of the brief data outage seen during the scan drive reversals. Any data missing from duration of reversals is not recoverable.
