The yearly GOES-12 North/South maneuver was done on DOY 338 as scheduled. However, SOCC engineers were unable to return the spacecraft to normal mode. At the present time (340/1430z) the spacecraft remains in station keeping mode. A “Tiger Team was convened yesterday and continues to meet to resolve the issue. Starting on DOY 339/1515z GOES-10 imaging is replacing GOES-12 until the problem is resolved with GOES-12
