NOAA 16 Spacecraft Status Summary

Spacecraft Letter:	L	International Designation:	2000 055A	Catalog Number:	26536
Launch Date:	09/21/2000	Operational Date:	03/20/2001	Operational Status:	PM Secondary

Notes:	At 2013-090-14:31:31, NOAA-16's STX1 HRPT rf output power dropped from 9.623W to 2.196W (8.7 dB). No STX reconfiguration for HRPT transmission is planned by NOAA Engineering since this lower rf power level should be adequate for Direct Users.

GAC:	Yes	HRPT:	Yes	STX-1/LSB
LAC:	No	APT:	No	Inoperable

LTAN:	21:01:39	Inclination Angle:	99.0(Deg)	Altitude:	849(Km)
		Precession Rate:	3.00(min/month)	Period:	102.1(minutes)
