*'''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.

*'''18 Oct 2012''' Additional information: GOES-13 returned to service as GOES-East today, Thursday, October 18 at 10:44 AM EDT. All operations are nominal. The root cause of the GOES-13 anomaly was a motor vibration in the sounder filter wheel subsystem that was transmitted on to the imager and sounder optical bench. Mitigating steps have been taken to suppress the vibration and in addition, outgassing of the sounder has improved the sounder detector performance.

*'''12 Jun 2013''' GOES-13 stopped producing imaging and sounding data at 0340 UTC May 22 2013 due to an anomaly believed to be a micrometeoroid strike on the arm for the solar array panel. GOES-15 initially provided additional coverage of eastern US, followed by activation of GOES-14 during the outage while engineers analyzed the cause of the anomaly. GOES-13 returned to service at 1545 UTC June 10 2013.
