Length of the Outage/Event: 225 Hrs 20 Mins
Details/Specifics of Change: Starting this month, GOES-17 data generation and distribution will undergo testing from the GOES-17 Standby location at 104.7 deg W. This test period presents an opportunity for all GRB users to test and verify their internal system processing capabilities when receiving data from a GOES-R series spacecraft (GOES-17 in this case) at this orbital location.
GOES-17 GRB data distribution will be turned on for the period of January 16, 2024 at 1600 UTC through January 26, 2024 at 0120 UTC. The ABI will operate primarily in Mode 6, however Mode 4 will be used to fill timelines around Solar Calibration and Desert Monitoring scans. Data availability is detailed in the table below. Throughout the entire time period, data quality may be impacted by calibration and navigation issues, and there will be outages due to testing for which no notifications will be sent since GOES-17 is non-operational.
GOES-17 testing will complete on Thursday, January 25, 2024 and the spacecraft will enter storage mode on Friday, January 26, 2024 0120 UTC, at which time all product generation and dataflows will cease.
