During the CECI campaign, GOES-18 SUVI will pause it's ECI and resume its nominal operations for SUVI and EXIS twice a day. The first pause will be during GOES-16 Eclipse in order to maintain an operational SUVI and EXIS during the eclipse season. The CECI will be paused roughly 90 minutes before and 90 minutes after G16 Eclipse. The second pause will be around the G18 EXIS daily calibrations. One addtional pause will take place March 20 for a GOES-18 SUVI internal calibration during eclipse.


The SUVI CECI campaign will not be canceled due to any CWD.
