Topic: GOES-17 Annual Storage Activation and Checkout at 104.7 W
 
Date/Time Issued: January  08, 2024 1840Z
 
Product or Data Impacted: All L1b and GLM L2 data delivered via GRB
 
Date/Time of Initial Impact: January 16, 2024 1600Z
 
Date/Time of Expected End: January 26, 2024 0120Z
 

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.
