Details/Specifics of Change:
NOAA plans to update the TIROS Bulletin United States (TBUS) to reflect the following:
- Remove NOAA-12, TBUS08, and NOAA-14, TBUS02. Both satellites were decommissioned some time ago and are not needed
- Establish GOES-13 as the third GOES TBUS in the TBUS08 slot. This will be done effective with the daily TBUS update at 0700 UTC on 5 February 2009
- Establish NOAA-19 (N Prime) as TBUS02. This will be done once the spacecraft has been launched and established in orbit.
This will result in the following configuration:
