NOAA GOES SATOPS Morning Report 20 July 2000
SATOPS MORNING REPORT – July 20, 2000
GOES
No change in the status of the GOES spacecraft.
GOES-8 frame break occur at 2357Z due to high bit error rate caused
by thunderstorms in the Wallops CDA area.
GOES-10 frame breaks occurred at 2330Z and 2349Z due to address error
and high bit error rate caused by thunderstorms at Wallops CDA. Also
late frame start at 2340Z.
GOES-10 rapid scan operations were activated from 2003Z to 0303Z for
severe weather over Montana.
POES
No change in the status of the POES spacecraft.
NOAA-15 rev 11347, G3A was noisy from the spacecraft with 97% of the
data recovered.
Spacecraft telemetry (TLM) was extremely noisy at acquisition of signal
and it appeared that it may be necessary to select MIRP INTERNAL SYNC mode.
While the engineers were discussing the situation, the TLM ìsettled
downî considerably, although TIP and AMSU frames were missing throughout
the pass. AVHRR resynched during the pass. AVHRR investigation
is underway to determine if the AVHRR resynching caused the following noisy
data:
Rev 11348, G5A – 99% of
the data recovered
Rev 11349, G1A – 99% of
the data recovered
Rev 11353, G2A – 97.6% of
the data recovered
Rev 11354, G5B – 98.1% of
the data recovered
Rev 11355, G1A – 99.07%
of the data recovered
Rev 11356, G5A – 97.3% of
the data recovered
Rev 11357, G3A – 98.9% of
the data recovered
DMSP
No change in the status of the DMSP spacecraft.
DMSP operations were nominal over the past 24 hours.
