Instrument StatusGLM Science Team Meeting

9 September 2016

Marc Rafal/GSFCGLM Instrument Manager

• All instrument level tests successfully completed

• Installed on GOES-R Spacecraft• Spacecraft TVAC completed

– 8 Weeks 24/7 operations in simulated space environment

– All instruments and spacecraft tested as system

– End-to-End test with Ground System

• Harness repair to correct data ‘burst’ approved and scheduled– Ground Processing Algorithm update

to filter any remaining ‘bursts’ is they occur

• Spacecraft EMI/EMC, Vibration, and Acoustics tests coming up
