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
