Today, the 13th of August 2025, NOAA-19 was permanently shut down after a battery failure on the 9th. Until the 11th it was still transmitting APT, but on the 12th it only transmitted DSB without HIRS or SEM. On S-band it was also transmitting DSB for a while, then HRPT with only TIP data on night the 13th and this morning.

Since this was unexpected, I didn’t get the last APT it was transmitting, or record the shutdown of the satellite, but here is the best APT I have from the day before (the 11th). RIP NOAA-19.

The decommisioning of NOAA-15 was due on the 12th, but was delayed to the week of the 18th on the 11th due to an “anomaly” with NOAA-19.
