     GOES-EAST IMAGER DATA
     
     Server/group/dataset information for GOES-East can be found at the 
     end of this file. This includes information for GOES-East navigation. 
 
     Full disk images are sent every 3 hours, beginning at 0245 UTC, 
     regardless of what schedule the spacecraft is in. 

     When the spacecraft is in a routine schedule, CONUS, Northern 
     Hemisphere (NH) & Southern Hemisphere (SH) images are sent as
     follows: 
                        CONUS     hh02 & hh32
                        NH        hh15 & hh45
                        SH        hh09 & hh39 

     For various reasons (such as, but not limited to, severe  
     weather or for space shuttle support), the spacecraft may go  
     into either a Rapid Scan Operations (RSO) schedule or a 
     Super Rapid Scan Operations (SRSO) schedule. 
      
     When GOES-East is in any schedule besides the routine one, 
     that information will be placed in the text file INFO/MESSAGES.
     (Type   READ INFO/MESSAGES) 

     Note: Changes to the GOES-East schedule during times when         
           the UW-SSEC Data Center is unstaffed (weekends and 
           holidays) will not be reflected in the MESSAGES file. 

     Images sent during the RSO schedule can be found in the same 
     datasets as when the spacecraft is in the routine schedule. 
     During the SRSO schedule, CONUS, NH and FD images can also
     be found in the same datasets as during the routine schedule,
     while the 1-minute images will be in the SRSO datasets. 


     GOES-EAST SOUNDER DATA

     GOES-East sounder start times are hh20 & hh46.


     GOES-EAST NAVIGATION DATA

     GOES-EAST navigation can be accessed from the machine sd2, using
     the ADDE navigation commands.


     GOES-EAST BACKUP SERVERS

     In the event that the primary server is down, there are backup
     servers available for the imager and sounder images, as well as
     the navigation. Server/group/dataset information for the backup
     servers can be found at the end of this file.
