The American satellite, GOES-15, transmitting data on solar flares, suddenly stopped working, the experts can not yet say when he comes into operation, said in a statement on the website of the U.S. administration Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA."He suddenly went into safe mode and turn off most of its instruments," - said in a statement. It emphasizes that the satellite equipment is not physically damaged.Terms of disaster recovery device will be specified later. In orbit is now a series of four satellites GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite), designed for meteorological and geophysical observations, one of them in reserve.GOES-15 was launched in March 2010, this is the last satellite in the constellation. On board are five cameras to capture the Earth's surface in visible and infrared devices to collect data on temperature and humidity of the atmosphere, as well as detectors for fixing the X-ray flares on the Sun, charged particles, and instruments for monitoring the state of the magnetosphere."This satellite is the main source of data on solar flares. It was on a scale which is determined by the flux of radiation, recorded on it, we define a class of flares. Very fact that the flash can capture and other satellites, but they transmit the data from the long delay and the power of the flash can not be determine exactly, "- said RIA Novosti, Laboratory of X-ray astronomy of the Sun the Lebedev Physical Institute (LPI) Sergei Bogachev.According to him, if you can not recover the satellite may be launched from the "cold standby" some of his twins, but nobody knows how it will be functional.In operation now are satellites GOES-12 and GOES-13, the first detection of these solar flares is not working, while the second works with the following restrictions: its CCD has been damaged by a solar flare in 2006.
It is obvious that, in the absence of solar activity, by itself, the satellite could not turn off!He was cut off, or employees of NASA or the aliens ... From us again, trying to hide something!
