Re: Satellites

Please let me know what sites you are using for the satellite links, as all the ones that I have stopped updating at 0400Z.
When the Sun eclipsed the satellites.
Please check the time of the sat pictures you are looking at.

There will be interruptions in GOES-East imagery between 03:00 UTC and 06:00 UTC, and interruptions in GOES-West imagery between 07:00 UTC and 09:00 UTC due to the Fall 2004 Eclipse Season. Earth will fully "eclipse" each satellite during certain times, and we need to shut down the imager and sounder on each satellite to conserve power during these times. You can download detailed eclipse schedules at:
