FYI: GOES-19 instrumentation and stability all look good, so the National 
Weather Service will replace GOES-16 with GOES-19 on April 4, 2025.

Additionally...GOES-16 will move from 75.2 degrees west to 75.5 degrees west 
through April 3 to make way for our new GOES-EAST. So you may see imagery 
bouncing around a little bit from time to time.
