LRIT (1691MHz) Inactive
MDL (1681.418MHz) Inactive
Instrument Status
SXI Defective
SEM Deactivated

Annotation: The scan mechanism is failing. EWS-G1 was deactivated and replaced with EWS-G2 (GOES-15). It is currently drifting west.

GOES-14 [Norad 35491]

Frequency Status
GVAR (1685.7MHz) Inactive
SD (1676MHz) Inactive
CDA (1694MHz) Active

S&R Working, Deactivated

Annotation: Even though the LRIT transponder is active, it appears that no data is transmitted at the moment.

Update 03/02/2023: G14 has reached its new position and is now stable at 108.2°W.

Annotation: G14 is rarely active, booted up for a yearly check-up or support to GOES-16/17/18.
