Update #3Due to a ground system configuration issue, MAG data was not received from 2047z - 2117z, and thus not delivered to the LZSS or PDA for this duration as was expected.


Update #2: Correction of start time to 2010 UTC


Update #1: This is a reminder that the GOES-17 Yaw Flip maneuver is scheduled for April 6, 2021 from 2010 UTC to 2140 UTC 


Topic: GOES-17 Yaw Flip Maneuver scheduled for April 6, 2021


Date/Time Issued: April 7, 2021 0155Z

 

Product(s) or Data Impacted: GOES-17 ABI, GLM, SEISS, SUVI, and EXIS

 

Date/Time of Initial Impact: April 6, 2021 2010Z

 

Date/Time of Expected End: April 6, 2021 2140Z

 

Length of Event: 1 hour

 

Details/Specifics of Change:

A yaw flip maneuver will be performed on GOES-17 on April 6, 2021 from  2010-2140 UTC. During this period all instruments will experience a data outage except telemetry data from MAG which will continue to be sent. After the maneuver, all instruments and products will resume nominal production and distribution.

 

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.
