August 26 -- GOES Satellite Eclipse Season
Eclipse season for the GOES 10, 11, and 12 spacecraft begins on August 23, September 1, and August 30 respectively and continues for about 40 days. Maximum daily outages of about 65 minutes are reached in the middle of the eclipse season.

3-day Solar-Geophysical Forecast issued Sep 16 22:00 UTC
Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low.
Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be predominately quiet with isolated unsettled conditions for the next three days (17-19) September.
This plot shows 3-days of 5-minute solar x-ray flux values measured on the SWPC primary and secondary GOES satellites.
One low value may appear prior to eclipse periods. Click on the plot to open an updating secondary window. Black background version. 6-hour 1-min Solar X-ray Flux plot. See D-region Absorption page for effects of solar x-rays.
Proton Flux plot is GOES-11 data
Electron Flux and GOES Hp plots are GOES-12 and GOES-11 data
The Satellite Environment Plot combines satellite and ground-based data to provide an overview of the current geosynchronous satellite environment. Click on a data panel to open an updating secondary window. An updating Satellite Environment Plot window is also available.
Although these data are of interest to the satellite community, they do not include all parameters and energy ranges known to be associated with satellite anomalies. See related information from the NOAA POES satellite -- Auroral Activity Estimates, Relative Intensities of Energetic Particles, and Solar Protons.
