NOAA GOES SATOPS Morning Report 26 September 2000

SATOPS MORNING REPORT – September 26, 2000

POES

No change in the status of the POES spacecraft.

The NOAA-16 spacecraft subsystems are continuing to report routine operations. 
A complete dump and validation of the spacecraft’s memory is now complete. 
The LM contingent from Sunnyvale has now returned to the West coast and
staffing continues with NASA and NOAA engineers.  The AMSU A1 and
AMSU A2 instruments were turned on this morning without incident. 
HRPT receipt subsequent to the instrument turn-on activities was successful.

NOAA-12 rev 48654/F at 1757Z on September 25:  G2A did not lock
up.  Another attempt to recover data on rev 48656/W at 2100Z was 100%
successful.

NOAA-14 rev 29583/F at 2345Z on September 25:  Recovered 100% of
L2B during this pass, which had originally been recovered on rev 29582/W,
but had not met acceptable playback guidelines.

NOAA-15 rev 12322/W at 0120Z on September 26:  G3B received short
from spacecraft due to a scheduling timing error.  86% of the expected
data received.  Data not recoverable on subsequent revs due to recorder
management.

POES operations were nominal over the past 24 hours.

DMSP
