DOY 187

GOES
On DOY 187, the GOES-11 (WEST) CONUS 0801z sounding was missed due to schedule suspension from a VCC verification failure. The normal schedule has resumed.

All other GOES operations were nominal over the past 96 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 96 hours.
No anomalies affecting product delivery or s/c health & safety.
