[Datastream #KXE-145661]: GOES16 inquiry

Hi Ioan,

re:
> Do you have any news regarding GOES16?

Here are a couple of snippits from a status update message we received
this morning:

"The plans to move GOES-16 to the GOES East position and the details of
the transition of GOES-16 to operations as GOES East are still in review
by NESDIS senior management."

"The detailed plan to move GOES-16 to its GOES East position has not been 
approved.
...
GRB will not transmit during the drift and for a number of days after GOES-16
reaches its GOES East position. Prior to activating the GOES-16 GRB, OSPO will
stop the GOES-13 GVAR transmission. However, OSPO can distribute the GOES-13
data through the GOES-14 GVAR.  GOES East GVAR users will have to point their
antennas to GOES-14. The overlap period (during which GOES-13 data is available
on GOES-14 GVAR) would only occur for about two weeks. At the end of that time
period the GOES-13 satellite will be out of service and moved to an orbital
storage location. The key message is that GOES-13 GVAR users who desire to
receive GOES East when GOES-16 is operational must have their GRB receive
stations ready for the transition."


Cheers,

Tom
