Looks like GOES-13 could be back up and running as early as the end of next week.
Quote:
GOES-13 recovery efforts continue as the imager and sounder are providing data for testing purposes ONL from 75 degrees West. GOES-13 is still in INR recovery, so imagery is not yet within specifications. NESDIS will verify and validate the GOES-13 products and services over the next several days. The sounder however, will not be available once outgassing commences at approximately 0030 UTC on June 1, 2013 until outgassing concludes at approximately 0000 UTC on June 6, 2013. Outgassing will reduce noise and improve medium and short-wave sounder channel products. If products and services receive a positive review, the current planning is that they will be made available to users at the earliest on June 6, 2013.
