EMWIN-N Transition Nears:

GOES 15 will replace the current GOES West satellite (11) on December 14, 2011. When this occurs the EMWIN-N broadcast will replace the current legacy broadcast.  For transition details click here.  All users should migratie to EMWIN-N capable systems. Please see our vendor page for EMWIN vendor listings.

EMWIN On GOES R:

 

The EMWIN team worked with representatives from NESDIS, NASA, and the GOES R project team and used the GOES 14 satellite to test the next generation HRIT/EMWIN prototype receiver.  The GOES 14 satellite (formerly known as GOES O) was launched on June 27, 2009 and became the second operational GOES N series satellite in orbit.  The tests were performed at Wallops Command and Data Acquisition (CDA) station from August 24-27, 2009 and had positive results for both the EMWIN and LRIT data streams.  The prototype provides backward compatibility to the current GOES generation broadcast to ensure transition flexibility.  In the GOES R era, the EMWIN broadcast will combine with LRIT and become the HRIT/EMWIN broadcast. The data rate will greatly increase, to 400 kbps, allowing for a much larger product set. Additional EMWIN team testing is ongoing with the GOES 14 satellite.  

 

The HRIT/EMWIN software defined radio receiver prototype documentation, source code and design documents are now available on the GOES R website.
