*'''24 Sept 2012''' GOES-13 Imager and Sounder are suffering from increased noise. As a result, the platform has as of this day been pulled out of GOES-East operations. GOES-14 is being prepped to take over GOES-East ops. The Engineers continue to investigate, a return to service timeframe, if possible, is unknown.

*'''16 Oct 2012''' Tests of GOES-13 instrumentation have demonstrated the imager and sounder are ready to return to GOES-East operational service. GOES-13 Imager data are nominal and thanks to outgassing activities the noise in GOES-13 Sounder shortwave data has been reduced compared to pre-anomaly levels. The return of GOES-13 to operational service also optimizes the long term continuity of the GOES constellation. On October 18, 2012 at 1444 UTC GOES-13 data will be inserted back into the GOES-13 GVAR data stream, replacing the current GOES-14 data stream. Users do not need to repoint their antennas as the switch of GVAR data streams will be transparent. Users will notice the immediate shift of Earth coverage from the current GOES-14 drifting position to the GOES-13 position at 75 degrees West longitude. GOES-East products will be generated using GOES-13 and will receive nominal 24x7 monitoring. [http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/SATS/MESS/MSG2902048.01.txt] | |||
