Subject: Operational transition of the GOES-19 satellite to become 
              GOES-East on or after April 7, 2025  

Effective: April 7, 2025 1510Z

On or after April 7, 2025, at approximately 15:10 UTC, GOES-19, the newest satellite in the 
Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) series, will become the operational 
GOES-East satellite, replacing GOES-16.   

As of that date, all data products from GOES-19 will permanently replace those
from GOES-16 on the Satellite Broadcast Network (SBN). This is outlined within the
following NWS SCN: 
https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/pdf_2025/scn25-30_updated_transitionGOES-19_%20to_GOES-EAST_Apr_7_2025.pdf

In addition to changes to the GOES products flowing over the SBN, any WMO-headed GOES-16
products that flow to GTS customers will be replaced with WMO-headed GOES-19 products. No 
changes to the WMO headers are expected as GOES-19 will use the same headers as were used
for GOES-16 based products.

If you have any questions regarding distribution or would like to
add these products to your datastream please contact IDP Dataflow at ncep.nco.dm@noaa.gov.
