Topic: GOES-17 SEISS MPS-LO Electron and Ion Microchannel Plate (MCP) HV Bias Calibration (impacts SEISS)


Date/Time Issued: August 31, 2020 1857Z


Product(s) or Data Impacted: GOES-17 SEISS MPS-LO


Date/Time of Initial Impact: September 3, 2020 1330Z


Date/Time of Expected End: September 4, 2020 1530Z


Length of Outage: 26 hours of product degradation


Details/Specifics of Change:

A GOES-17 (GOES-WEST) SEISS MPS-LO Electron and Ion Microchannel Plate (MCP) HV Bias Calibration will be performed from 2020/247T13:30z to 2020/248T15:30z. The calibration will consist of 2 hours of commanding followed by a 24 hour power off of the MPS-LO Deflection Electrode High Voltage (required for performance data collection). SEISS MPS-LO will experience data degradation during this 26 hour period until the Deflection Electrode High Voltage is powered back on returning the sensor to nominal operation.


The SEISS MPS-LO Calibration will be cancelled due to CWD or if the Space Weather environment is not appropriate for the calibration.
