GOES
GOES-13: At 1711Z the Imager electronics and scan motor were turned on as part of instrument testing and characterization. The GOES-13 Imager and Sounder remain out of service at this time.

NOTES: GOES-14 is drifting 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 re-point their antennas to GOES-14.

All other GOES operations were nominal over the past 24 hours.
No anomalies affecting product delivery via GVAR or s/c health & safety.
