Topic: DSCOVR NORM to NORM Reset
Date/Time Issued: October 25, 2023 1513Z
Product(s) or Data Impacted: DSCOVR Instruments
Date/Time of Initial Impact: November 01, 2023 1500Z
Date/Time of Expected End: November 01, 2023 2030Z
Length of Outage: Instrument outage varies, see detail outage below
Details/Specifics of Change:
To alleviate rising trends of memory fragmentation on DSCOVR there is a planned NORM to NORM reset (commanded processor reset). This activity would result in a data outage for all instruments as the engineering team initiates a processor reset, recovers the spacecraft from safehold mode, and configures the spacecraft and instruments for science mode. The primary customer, NOAA/NWS Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), will switch over to ACE as primary source during the DSCOVR Commanded Reset activities.
