Topic: NOAA-19 SBUV Data Outage
*Date/Time Issued: December 15, 2022 0526Z
*Product(s) or Data Impacted: SBUV Products
*Date/Time of Initial Impact: December 14, 2022 1615Z
Impacts on Users and Significance: SBUV products will be impacted.
Date/Time of Expected End: December 14, 2022 1834Z
Length of the Outage: ~5 hours
*Details/Specifics of Change: The NOAA-19 SBUV was not producing data for ~5 hours from 17:56 UTC to ~23:20 UTC due
to being left in the “Giant Step” configuration for an extended period of time. The Giant Step is
normally executed once per day to reduce instrument error, however because the commands in
the stored command load that return the instrument to its normal configuration were not executed
properly, the SBUV was left in the “Giant Step” configuration for ~5 hours. The instrument was
commanded back to its normal configuration at ~23:20 UTC.
