Declaration of GOES-19 as the GOES-East Operational Satellite on April 4, 2025 at 1510 UTC

On April 4, 2025 at 1510 UTC, the GOES-19 satellite will be declared the Operational GOES-East satellite. Until that transition date and during this final period of Post Launch Product Testing (PLPT), GOES-19 products are considered non-operational regardless of their validation maturity level. All products and services (e.g., GRB, HRIT/EMWIN, DCS, AWIPS, PDA, CLASS, NODD) for GOES-East will be transitioned to GOES-19 data. GOES-19 will operate out of the GOES-East location of 75.2°W starting on April 1, 2025 and through the operational transition.

Shortly following the transition of GOES-19 to GOES-East, all data distribution from GOES-16 will be turned off. GOES-16 will commence drifting to the storage location at 104.7°W.
