Topic: Shutting Off NOAA-11

Date/Time(UTC) Message Issued:

Satellite(s) Involved:
NOAA-11

Instrument(s) Involved:
SBUV/2

Product(s) Involved/Affected:
Ozone

Date/Time(UTC) of Initial Implementation:
29 May 2003, Time 1954

Details/Specifics of Change:

The End Of Life (EOL) testing of NOAA-11 SBUV/2 has produced a stuck grating
drive. This was not unexpected as the instrument has been having
difficulties for some time. These tests were EOL specifically because they
were stressing given the grating drive behavior. Since the value of the data
at 274 nm is very limited, the Ozone Product Oversight Panel (ZPOP) are
declaring an end to EOL testing. At 1954z SOCC executed command to change
battery 1 and 2 charge rates to Medium and battery 3 charge rate to Low.
During the same pass, operators loaded SBUV flex memory to set the grating
drive to 205, set to position mode and turned off the SBUV instrument.
