SUBJECT: PRODUCT OUTAGE/ANOMALY: GOES-13 (GOES-EAST) DATA OUTAGE:
**UPDATE#11: **GOES-13 HAS BEEN PLACED INTO STORAGE MODE WHILE THE
ANOMALY IS INVESTIGATED.  THERE IS NO NEW INFORMATION OR ESTIMATED
RETURN TO SERVICE AT THIS TIME.

GOES-14 IMAGING SHOULD BE AVAILABLE STARTING AT APPROXIMATELY 0600 UTC
ON MAY 23, 2013.

GOES-15 (WEST) REMAINS IN FULL DISK MODE AND WILL CONTINUE IN THAT
SCHEDULE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

**UPDATE#10: **GOES-13 HAS BEEN PLACED INTO STORAGE MODE WHILE THE
ANOMALY IS INVESTIGATED.  THERE IS NO NEW INFORMATION OR ESTIMATED
RETURN TO SERVICE AT THIS TIME.

GOES-14 IMAGING SHOULD BE AVAILABLE STARTING AT APPROXIMATELY 0600 UTC
ON MAY 23, 2013.

GOES-15 (WEST) REMAINS IN FULL DISK MODE AND WILL CONTINUE IN THAT
SCHEDULE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

UPDATE#9: *GOES-13 HAS BEEN PLACED INTO STORAGE MODE WHILE THE ANOMALY
IS INVESTIGATED.  THERE IS NO NEW INFORMATION OR ESTIMATED RETURN TO
SERVICE AT THIS TIME. *

*GOES-14 IMAGING SHOULD BE AVAILABLE STARTING AT APPROXIMATELY 0600 UTC
ON MAY 23, 2013.*

*GOES-15 (WEST) REMAINS IN FULL DISK MODE AND WILL CONTINUE IN THAT
SCHEDULE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.*

UPDATE#8: *GOES-13 HAS BEEN PLACED INTO STORAGE MODE WHILE THE ANOMALY
IS INVESTIGATED.  THERE IS NO NEW INFORMATION OR ESTIMATED RETURN TO
SERVICE AT THIS TIME.

GOES-14 IMAGING SHOULD BE AVAILABLE STARTING AT APPROXIMATELY 0600 UTC
ON MAY 23, 2013.  THE IMAGER WILL START UP IN A RECOVERY MODE,
WHICH HAS
REDUCED SECTORS SO THAT ADDITIONAL STAR CALIBRATIONS CAN BE TAKEN.
  UNTIL THIS IS COMPLETE, THE IMAGERY SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED WITHIN
NORMAL TOLERANCE FOR NAVIGATION.  TRANSITION TO THE NORMAL ROUTINE
SCHEDULE (OR RSO IF REQUESTED) SHOULD TAKE PLACE AT APPROXIMATELY 1400
UTC ON MAY 23RD FROM ITS CURRENT LOCATION AT 105 DEGREES WEST. THE
INGEST AND DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS OF GOES-EAST DATA HAVE NOT BEEN
CHANGED, SO THE SATEPSDIST ADDE SERVERS WILL AUTOMATICALLY RECEIVE
GOES-14 DATA.  REGARDING GOES-EAST GVAR, USERS WILL NEED TO REPOINT
THEIR ANTENNAS TO GOES-14 AT 105 DEGREES WEST IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE
GOES-14 GVAR BROADCAST DATA STREAM.  GOES-14 GVAR WILL NOT BE
TRANSMITTED THROUGH GOES-13 CHANNELS WHILE GOES-13 RECOVERY EFFORTS
CONTINUE.  SINCE THE RECOVERY SCHEDULE IS PRESENTLY UNKNOWN, USERS
SHOULD CONSIDER THEIR NEAR-TERM NEEDS AGAINST THE EFFORTS REQUIRED TO
REPOINT TO GOES-14.

GOES-15 (WEST) REMAINS IN FULL DISK MODE AND WILL CONTINUE IN THAT
SCHEDULE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

IMAGERY:  FIRES AND SMOKE, HEAVY PRECIPITATION, VOLCANIC ASH

USERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO EXPLOIT GOES-12 DATA AS WELL AS POLAR SATELLITE
DATA DURING THIS ANOMALY PERIOD.  MORE DETAILS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE
CIMSS BLOG: HTTP://CIMSS.SSEC.WISC.EDU/GOES/BLOG/ARCHIVES/13031

**UPDATE#7:* *GOES-13 HAS BEEN PLACED INTO STORAGE MODE WHILE THE
ANOMALY IS INVESTIGATED.  THERE IS NO NEW INFORMATION AT THIS TIME.

GOES-14 IMAGING SHOULD BE AVAILABLE STARTING AT ABOUT 0600Z TOMORROW,

REDUCED SECTORS SO THAT ADDITIONAL STAR CALIBRATIONS CAN BE
TAKEN. UNTIL
THIS IS COMPLETE, THE IMAGERY SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED WITHIN NORMAL
TOLERANCE.

TRANSITION TO THE NORMAL SCHEDULE SHOULD TAKE PLACE ABOUT 1400Z
TOMORROW, MAY 23RD. ****
