GOES
GOES-14 maneuver plans: In order to support users with better data during the ongoing GOES-13 anomaly recovery, a GOES-14 East Drift Start Maneuver will be performed today, Monday, October 1, 2012, at 1545 UTC. GOES-14 is currently positioned at 105 degrees west, and upon the maneuver, the eastward longitudinal drift will be initiated. GOES-14 will drift 0.90 degrees per day to the East towards the location of GOES-13 at 75 degrees West. Final location of GOES-14 is dependent upon the ongoing recovery of GOES-13. During this transition, direct readout users can continue to receive GOES-14 data via the GOES-13 GVAR broadcast stream from 75 degrees West, and will not have to repoint their antennas to GOES-14. GOES-13 imager and sounder remain out of service at this time.

All other GOES operations were nominal over the past 72 hours.
No anomalies affecting product delivery via GVAR or s/c health & safety.
