GOES

No change in the status of the GOES spacecraft.

GOES-8 Rapid Scan Operations were activated from1826z to 0326z for severe
weather in Grand Forks, North Dakota.

GOES-8 frame breaks occurred at 0150z, 0210z, 0253z, 0645z and 0733z
due to radio frequency interference at Wallops CDA.  Reason is unknown.

POES

NOAA-15 HIRS filter wheel housing heater was be turned on at 12:45z
on Monday for an expected duration of 48 hours. It is hoped that the filter
wheel elevated temperature will draw additional lubricant into the bearing
assembly.

A NOAA-15 macro was loaded to the spacecraft which will command the
HIRS filter wheel motor to HIGH power mode, in the event that the filter
motor current should exceed 280 mA

NOAA-15 rev 11418, G3A was noisy from the spacecraft with 88.5% of the
data recovered.

No improvement in the NOAA-15 AVHRR performance has been observed over
the past 24 hours.

NOAA-11 SBUV grating drive continues “sticking/unsticking” anomaly. 
The SBUV became stuck at approximately 0900z and returned to itís normal
scanning pattern at approximately 1441z. The anomaly is being closely monitored.

DMSP

No change in the status of the DMSP spacecraft.

 

DMSP operations were nominal over the past 24 hours.
