GOES-12 E/W MANEUVER IS TAKING PLACE CURRENTLY ..NOTE IMAGING GAP
ON
GOES-12 FROM 0430Z-0544Z..MENTIONED BELOW FROM NESDIS.
* Update #2:  Due to nearing temperature limits on GOES-12 with a
CONUS
image just prior to Keep-Out-Zone (KOZ) this morning, NESDIS
engineering 
reevaluated the CONUS frames planned in the maneuver recovery
schedule. 
The following images will not be taken as previously advertised:
0445, 0456, 0515 & 1522
CONUS images. Therefore, there will be an imaging gap on GOES-12
from 0430-0544Z. 
See below for Due to the date change of the GOES-12 maneuver to
August 14, the 
maneuver recovery period will overlap the first day of Keep Out
Zone/Eclipse season for
GOES-12. This will result in the cancellation of additional
images.  
See Post Maneuver Recovery below for details. KOZ/Eclipse details
can be found at:
http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/SATS/eclipse.html **
A GOES-12 (GOES-East) East-West Station Keeping maneuver will be
performed on 
Friday, August 14, 2009 at 0117 UTC. This maneuver was moved from
the original date of 
8/12/09 due to the effects of Tropical Storm Felicia on Hawaii and
the need for continued 
GOES-11 (GOES-West) coverage and possible Rapid Scan coverage for
Hawaii. There is no back-up
date for this maneuver.
On Thursday, August 13, the following exclusive schedule will be
employed to support maneuver
operations: (*PLEASE NOTE the scheduled GOES-11 (GOES-West) Full
Disk scan period to support 
the primary GOES-12 (GOES-East) outage during the maneuver.*)
