GOES-East went into protect mode after an anomaly.  Here is the
official message about this event:

000
NOUS42 KWNO 220600
ADMNFD

SENIOR DUTY METEOROLOGIST NWS ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE
NWS NCEP CENTRAL OPERATIONS COLLEGE PARK MD
0600Z WED MAY 22 2013

UPDATE FROM NESDIS..

GOES-E WENT INTO A 'PROTECT' TYPE MODE.. AND WHILE SUPPORT IS
INVESTIGATING THEY WANTED TO PASS ALONG THAT GOES-E WILL STILL
NOT BE BROUGHT BACK INTO SERVICE ANY EARLIER THAN 12HRS FROM NOW
(APPROX. NO EARLIER THAN 1800Z) PER NESDIS. WHEN THEY INVESTIGATE
THE SATL ISSUES MORE CLOSELY THEY WILL BE ABLE TO BETTER FINE
TUNE THE RETURN TO SERVICE TIME FOR GOES-E.

GOES-W WILL CONTINUE IN FULL DISK MODE TO COVER AND THIS WILL
CONTINUE AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.

MORE AFTER 12Z OR WHEN A NEW UPDATE BECOMES AVAILABLE..

NEWBY/SDM/NCO/NCEP

A subsequent announcement informed users that they (meaning us)
will need to re-point our GOES-East dishes to GOES-14 which is
currently parked at 104W longitude.  We are in the process of
trying to effect this change.

re:
> I wanna to know if this is because NO new satellite imagery data
> available or I need to modify the command line I typed?

The former: GOES-East stopped transmitting images late on the 22nd.

re:
> Your help is appreciated.

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
