Use of the Data Collection System is limited to the collection of
environmental data.
There is currently no charge for use of the GOES system.
There are two operational GOES satellites, and you will be assigned channels on one or the other satellite:
The GOES East satellite is stationed 35,000 km above the equator at 75° W longitude.
The GOES West satellite at 135° W longitude.
There is also a spare (non-operational) satellite that is normally located at 105º W.
Each channel operates at a specified baud rate of 100, 300 or 1200 baud. The Telonics TGT-1 transmitter
is only capable of transmitting at 100 baud. The Campbell Scientific SAT HDR GOES transmitter can be
configured for 100, 300 or 1200 baud.
To obtain channels, complete the GOES DCS Program Application and Renewal Form, which is available
from:

Data relayed from GOES satellites are received and demodulated at the NESDIS ground station in
Wallops Island, Virginia. The data may be accessed through telephone lines with use of a modem, and
are available through a satellite downlink called DOMSAT.
To access the GOES data directly, you can dial in to the GOES D
CS Automatic Processing System, or
DAPS. When you are assigned GOES channels, you should also be assigned a user name and password
for DAPS.
There are many commands available on the DASP system. Consult the GOES DAPS User Interface
Manual for details about these commands. The ZENO
®
-3200 User Manual provides a basic overview of
this software in the following section.
Before dialing in to DAPS, set your modem communications to the following
parameters: 9600 Baud, 7 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit, Even Parity.
The following telephone numbers are available for dial-in access and technical support.
Main Rotary line: (757) 824-0105
