Topic: Administrative, GOES-13 North/South Maneuver, November 12, 2008 Message Issued: November 12, 2008, 0200 UTC Satellites Impacted: GOES-13 Products Impacted: Any experimental products from GOES-13, and users obtaining GOES-13 directly from the satellite. Date/Time of Initial Impact: November 12, 2008 0700 UTC -------------------------- Details: A GOES-13 North/South Station Keeping maneuver will be performed on Wednesday, November 12, 2008 at 0817 UTC. There is no back-up date for this maneuver. Following this maneuver, GOES-13 may be placed back into storage mode. OSO/SOCC engineers are still determining the final schedule to place GOES-13 back into storage.On November 12, the following exclusive schedule will be employed to support maneuver operations:
GOES-13 Maneuver Schedule starts at 0700 UTC on November 12, 2008. *From 0700 UTC through 1014 UTC -- No GOES-13 Imaging or Soundings*
From 1015 UTC through about 1934 UTC -- GOES-13 Post Maneuver Recovery Including:
* Short Full Disk Images (19 minute scan) at XX15 and XX45 * SE N. Hemisphere Soundings at XX46 1945 UTC November 12 -- GOES-13 Routine Scan Operations Resume. GOES-13 may be placed back into storage mode following this maneuver, engineers are still determining a final storage schedule as a result of the analysis of the spacecraft following maneuver. If routine scan operations resume, expect GOES-13 imager and sounder gridding offsets for up to 6 hours following the maneuver. --------------------------- Contact Information: Brian Hughes Satellite Services Division NOAA/NESDIS/OSDPD 301-763-8051 x106 Brian.Hughes@xxxxxxxx See http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/SATS/messages.html for this and other satellite related messages.
