NOAA SATOPS Morning Report: Thursday, July 02, 2010
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 183
GOES
On DOY 182, due to a hung process on a Sensor Processing System (SPS) GVAR Ingest Unit (GIU), the 1828z S. America image and the first 254 lines of the 1845z S. America image from GOES-12 were lost. SPS9 was replaced with SPS3 and data flow returned to normal.
All other GOES operations were nominal over the past 24 hours.
No anomalies affecting product delivery or s/c health & safety.

POES
For N16, Rev 50392 at 2304z on DOY 182, Wallops Antenna B hung at AOS and failed to track the spacecraft, which resulted in the loss of GAC 3A and GAC 4A due to digital tape recorder (DTR) management.
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.
