All users of GOES-10 data: We have been advised by NESDIS/SOCC that the GOES-10 spacecraft will be affected by a lunar shadow on January 24, 2001. During the affected period, the satellite must be placed into eclipse configuration. As a result, there will be NO GOES-8 imaging or sounding scan operations from 0930 UTC to 1029 UTC. In support of the GOES-10 outage, the GOES-8 spacecraft will provide Full Disk scans from 0915 UTC through 1044 UTC. GOES-10 will resume the routine schedule at 1030 UTC. GOES-8 will have a lunar shadow on January 24 and 25, but it will not require eclipse configuration.
