The trouble stemmed from a motor vibration, which caused a lubricant
buildup that obstructed the spinning motion of the filter wheel in the
sounder. A team of engineers from NOAA, Boeing and ITT suppressed the
vibration, the filter wheel restarted and is running smoothly, with
improved performance
The GOES-13 satellite, which provides regular weather images every 15 minutes, is a valuable tool for meteorologists and climatologists. The geostationary satellite has been providing coverage of the U.S. East Coast since April 14, 2010.
Not only can it produce satellite images both in the visible and infrared channels, but it can also take in and relay back a lot of meteorological information that actually is used in our various weather models, such as the Global Forecast System (GFS) and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). These are valuable tools that NASA/NOAA use to monitor our entire weather and climate across the globe.
GOES-14 – the temporary satellite that was going to fill in for GOES-13 – had been on a slow drift to move into GOES-13′s position. NOAA now says the GOES-14 Drift Stop Maneuver ended on October 19, 2012 at 1356 UTC.
