Correct, we provide McIDAS ADDE access to the data on this machine.

No, we do not provide FTP access to the GOES-10 data.  We only provide
access to the data via McIDAS ADDE.

We do not know of any sites making GOES-10 data available by FTP.

> and/or how I can access the data?

The data can be accessed from ADDE-enabled applications like McIDAS
(available from the University of Wisconsin (UW) Space Science and
Engineering Center (SSEC) and for educational institutions from
Unidata); the IDV (Unidata); and McIDAS-V (an IDV derivative from
UW/SSEC).

We are curious: can you tell us what your intended use is for
near real-time GOES-10 data?

Also, were you aware that GOES-10 is scheduled to be de-orbited
in the first part of December, 2009?

Cheers,

Tom
