Gilbert.. that does not answer his question, and the information copied directly from satbeams:
https://www.satbeams.com/satellites?id=2748The existing satellite (G28) has more capacity than noaa currently purchases, because peak bandwidth has not been reached on average.
current dvb2 lnb will likely suffice. general noaaport information site: https://www.weather.gov/noaaport/ cheers, --patrickI consulted with our satellite engineer, and here's the information we have:
Satellite Name: Galaxy 31 (Galaxy 23R, PACSTAR-L4) Status: planned Position: 121° W (112°W) NORAD: Cospar number: Operator: Intelsat Launch date: 30-Dec-2022 (Estimated) Launch site: Cape Canaveral Launch vehicle: Falcon 9 v1.2 Launch mass (kg): Dry mass (kg): Manufacturer: Maxar Technologies (SSL/MDA) Model (bus): LS-1300 Orbit: GEO Expected lifetime: 21+ years Gilbert On Aug 22, 2022, at 3:00 PM, Stephen Adams <sadams@xxxxxxxx> wrote: I wonder if the new sat will have greater transmission capacity/speed? Might there be a need for a new LNB?

I had heard that they wanted everyone off that bird by 1/1/23, and most of their customers are already off it.
And, once again, the switchover is in winter. Have fun, WFO's poleward of 40 degrees north...

Greetings all,It's been a while since we've heard any news on this front, but this PNS (https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/pdf2/scn22-77_sbn_galaxy31_change.pdf) was just issued announcing plans to change satellites "effective early 2023." The tentative transition schedule is below:
NOV 2022: G31 Planned Launch Date FEB 2023: Dual Illumination Period APR 2023: Complete Transition to G31Also of note is that the satellite we'll be switching to, Galaxy 31, will be a new one launched later this year (https://www.satbeams.com/satellites?id=2748).
If I see any more details come across I'll forward them here as well.
