POES

No change in the status of the POES spacecraft.

NOAA-15 rev 13125, Wallops experienced noise on the downlink and only
recovered 91% of degraded GAC data from recorder 4B.  SOCC and Wallops
repositioned the recorded data and recovered 100% of a clean dataset on
the next rev 13126, data delayed 100 minutes.

NOAA-16 rev 863, NASA Staff successfully conducted additional command
tests from the SOCC Launch Control Room, utilizing the McMurdo South Pole
Station.

No additional NOAA-15 HIRS testing will occur this week (Ref.: 
Procedure # 001115.1525).  NOAA-15 AVHRR and NOAA-16 APT/VTX2 testing
may be scheduled as early as next week.

POES operations were otherwise nominal over the past 24 hours.

GOES-8 supported NWSO Pittsburgh request for Rapid Scan Operations 1426Z-2126Z
for lake effect snow.

GOES-10 experienced two frame breaks. The first, at 1454Z, effected
a Southern Hemisphere image and was attributed to excavation work at NASA
Wallops.  The second, at 1851Z, effected a PACUS image and was from
an unknown source.
