SATOPS Morning Report: Monday, September 24, 2012

Customers or users who want to call to ask about problems or report outages can use the following contacts:
– For questions about data quality (noisy data, dropouts, schedules), GOES or POES products, or status of spacecraft can call the SAB Shift Supervisor at 301-763-8444
– To report an outage or document a problem, call the ESPC Operations Crew Lead at 301-457-5218. All LRIT data users are encouraged to report problems to: LRIT@noaa.gov

DOY 268

GOES
Notes: The GOES-13 Imager and Sounder are in standby mode. GOES-15 is in full disk and being re-broadcast through GOES-13 GVAR.

GOES-13(east): On Sunday 9/23/2012 at approximately 1126z the Sounder autonomously shut down the scan motor in response to an overload condition. NOAA Engineers responded, placed the sounder in standby mode and convened a tiger team which included the instrument vendor and s/c vendor. At approximately 2117z the Imager experienced a scan motor overload. Engineers placed the Imager in standby mode shortly afterwards. The Sounder and Imager instrument current overload conditions appear to be related to a noise with a 100 Hz signature. Numerous telemetry points from each subsystem along with raw data are being analyzed by the tiger team in order to determine the root cause. There is no return to service estimate for GOES-13 at this time.

GOES-15(west) was placed in a Full Disk schedule at 2130z to compensate for the loss of GOES-13 products.

GOES-14 (on-orbit spare) east schedules are currently being exercised in the event a decision is made to utilize it for GOES-East operations.

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

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

DMSP
OPS49 DOY266 05:38z CAT3 data loss of 6170 S/C seconds due to ground station problem at POGO.

OPS51 DOY267 07:14z CAT 2 data Loss 436 S/C sec due to a ground station problem at Lion.

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

JASON-2
All JASON-2 operations were nominal over the past 72 hours.
No anomalies affecting product delivery or s/c health & safety.

ESPC Reported data outage and delays
FNMOC (Fleet Numerical Meteorological and Oceanographic Center), Monterey, CA. Monterey has called and reports that F-15 Rev 66047 was lost due to equipment problems at site (POGO-A).

ESPC has not received any EWA Beach data since 1500 UTC 9/20/2012 for unknown reasons.
