PLAIN
Beginning 1500 UTC April 8, SEC will begin using data from the GOES
12 satellite, and stop receiving GOES 8 data. GOES 12 has the new
Solar X-Ray Imager (SXI), which will acquire real-time, operational
images of the solar x-ray flux. With the switch from GOES 8 to GOES
12, the primary/secondary designations will change. GOES 12 will be
the primary satellite for the SXI. All other data, including
magnetometer, XRS x-ray measurements, and energetic particles, will
have GOES 10 as their primary source, with GOES 12 as the secondary
source where available. Please see http://www.sec.noaa.gov/GOES.html
for important information on this changeover.
