DOY 148

GOES
NOTE: The GOES NOP Ground System has been experiencing intermittent software interprocess communication problems between workstations and servers across the network where procs at times will freeze or the connection between devices will drop. The GOES ground system core network switch at WCDA was replaced on DOY 147. Ground System performance has since improved significantly. GOES-13 T&C will continue to be supported from the WBU through the weekend.

GOES-12 DOY 146 Missed the following images due to network switch replacement related activities: 18:27Z, 19:57Z, and 18:30Z sounding

All other GOES operations were nominal over the past 24 hours.
No anomalies affecting product delivery or s/c health & safety.

POES
N15 NOTE: On DOY 070 N15 Gyro-2 was turned off due to current spikes which could have also impacted the last operational gyro (gyro-1). As a result of the transition to a reduced gyro attitude control mode users may experience significant geolocation errors in their products.
Engineers are reporting a 2.5 degree average attitude error about the yaw axis.

N17 NOTE: Due to a NOAA-17 AVHRR Scan Motor problems AVHRR imagery will experience periods of instability. This cycling of instability is a end of life condition and not expected to permanently improve.

All other POES operations were nominal over the past 24 hours.
No anomalies affecting product delivery or s/c health & safety.
