Greetings all, The NWS has updated their NOAAPort/SBN Transition schedule. The new dates are as follows: ======================================= 12 NOV 2022: G31 Launch Date 5 FEB 2023: Dual Illumination Period 17 FEB 2023: Receive Site Transition Window Start 31 MAR 2023: Receive Site Transition Window Ends 3 APR 2023: AWIPS Transition to G31 Complete ======================================= The SCN also mentions a change to "the RF Frequency." However, since they took down the previous SCN I don't recall what the frequencies were before, so I'm not sure which one was changed or what the previous values were. Here are the values listed in the current SCN: Satellite (G31) specifications/AWIPS -- RF Frequency: 1130 MHz Satellite (G31) specifications/NWWS -- RF Frequency: 990 MHz For more information here is the full SCN that just came out with this information: https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/pdf_2023_24/scn22-77_sbn_galaxy31_change_aab.pdf Best, -Mike *Mike Zuranski* Data Engineer II Unidata Program Center University Corporation for Atmospheric Research On Tue, Jan 24, 2023 at 3:22 PM Mike Zuranski <mzuranski@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > Greetings, > > The NWS has released additional details of the NOAAPort/SBN transition to > a new satellite.
