During that planned time: - NOAA-20/S-NPP/GCOM-W1 product generation and distribution from CBU will run for approximately 25 hours; expected end on May 9 at 0900 EDT / 1300 UTC when data operations will be transferred back to the primary facility at NSOF- IDMZ services will be transferred to CBU for approximately 48 hours- Flight/satellite operations portion of the test will run for approximately 48 hours as noted before.Important Note: NDE/PDA users may see up to a hour delay in data receipt during the initial start of NDE/PDA operations from CBU. When data services return back to the NSOF primary system, residual data may still be in the queue at the CBU NDE/PDA backup.
