Update #1: M-BThe planned Continuity of Operations (COOP) / Backup Exercise at CBU, WCDAS, and SOCC remains on schedule for May 7 - 9, 2019. Description and specific times associated with the exercise have been updated below.

Topic:M-B Notice of Continuity of Operations (COOP) / Backup ExerciseM-BM-bM-^@M-^S CBU, WCDAS, SOCC

Date/Time Issued:M-B May 3, 2019 2100 UTC

Product(s) or Data Impacted: M-BAll S-NPP, NOAA-20 and GCOM-W1 Level 1B (sensor data records - SDRs) and other M-bM-^@M-^XcriticalM-bM-^@M-^Y (data records - xDRs) designated products will be distributed from the Consolidated Backup (CBU) facility during the exercise period to those users with authorized CBU data interfaces - from IDPS and PDA.M-B During the COOP exercise, non-JPSS data processing/distribution will not be impacted as delivery of GOES-16/17, GOES-15, Metop, POES and other data will continue nominally from NSOF during the exercise from the PDA and other ESPC distribution systems.

Date/Time of Initial Impact:M-B M-BMay 7, 2019 1100 UTC (IDPS and PDA distributed JPSS data)

Date/Time of Expected End:M-B

May 8, 2019 M-B1400 UTC M-B(IDPS/PDA data operations returned to NSOF)

May 9, 2019M-B 2200 UTC M-B(all mission flight ops will have been returned to NSOF)

Length of Event:

up to 25 hrs for IDPS data operations

up to 60 hours for flight operations (depending upon the satellite mission)

Details/Specifics of Change:M-B M-B

On Tuesday May 7, 2019 beginning at 1000 UTC, the flight operations command and control for satellites in the GOES-15, GOES-16/17 and DSCOVR constellations will be failed-over to the Wallops Command and Data Acquisition Station (WCDAS).M-B Data operations for these constellations will be unaffected. The GOES-NOP, POES & DSCOVR ESPC/Wallops CIP will not be activated for this COOP/backup exercise. A test of ESPC/Wallops CIP network connectivity will be conducted later, and these details will be covered under a separate notification.M-B By Thursday May 9, 2019 at 2200 UTC the flight command and control for all above constellations will have been failed back to NSOF SOCC.

Also on Tuesday May 7, 2019 beginning at 1200 UTC, the flight operations command and control for S-NPP and NOAA-20 satellites in the JPSS constellation, and IDPS data operations will be failed-over to the CBU.M-B IDPS data operations from CBU will be conducted for up to 25 hours, and those data operations will be returned back to NSOF at approximately May 8, 2019 1400 UTC. On Thursday May 9, 2019 at 1200 UTC the flight command and control for the JPSS constellation will be failed back to the NSOF SOCC.
