NOAA GOES SATOPS Morning Report 2 October 2000

SATOPS MORNING REPORT – October 2, 2000

POES

No change in the status of the POES spacecraft.

The NOAA-16 operations continue nominally, subsequent to a successful
handover to NOAA last Friday.

NOAA-14 rev 29635/F at 1621Z on September 29:  G5B received noisy
from spacecraft.  66.3% of the expected data received.  Data
not recoverable on subsequent revs due to recorder management.

NOAA-12 rev 48742/W on October 2:  L2A received short due to ground
issues.  An IMUX issue required the use of the heritage system; the
recorders started late.  72% of the expected data received. 
Data not recoverable on subsequent revs due to recorder management.

POES operations were nominal over the past 72 hours.

DMSP

No change in the status of the DMSP spacecraft.

DMSP operations were nominal over the past 72 hours.

GOES

frame break was observed and attributed to loss of signal synchronization.
