Update #1: Please see the changes (in bold) to the Details/Specifics of Change section below
Topic: GOES-17 Yaw Flip Maneuver scheduled for September 6, 2022
Date/Time Issued: August 26, 2022 1510 UTC
Product(s) or Data Impacted: GOES-17 ABI, GLM, SEISS, SUVI, MAG, and EXIS
Date/Time of Initial Impact: September 6, 2022 2040 UTC
Date/Time of Expected End: September 6, 2022 2130 UTC
Length of Event: 1 hour
Details/Specifics of Change:
A yaw flip maneuver will be performed on GOES-17 on September 6, 2022 from 2040-2130 UTC. During this period all instruments will experience a data outage. Additionally, due to the GOES-17/GOES-18 interleave configuration, there will be an outage in distribution of GOES-18 ABI L1b data to GRB and PDA users and GOES-18 ABI L2+ data to PDA users. GOES-18 KPP and non-ABI production and distribution will not be impacted. After the maneuver, all instruments and products will resume nominal production and distribution.
The total expected duration of instrument outages during this time are as follows:
ABI: 50 min scan outage (20:40 UTC to 21:30 UTC)
SUVI: ~40 min data outage
EXIS: ~40 min data outage
SEISS: ~20 min data outage
GLM: ~50 min outage
MAG: ~20 min data outage
All ABI channels will experience navigation and product quality degradation for a period of time up to 30 minutes due to the Kalman filter reset. There is no back up date for the yaw flip. It will be conducted during a critical weather day.
If NWS Regions have any operational concerns, please contact the NCEP SDM (301) 683-1500 at least 6 hours prior to the maneuver time.
