Scientific paper

On July 23, 2001, NOAA's Solar X-ray Imager (SXI) was launched onboard a Geosynchronous Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-12). The SXI instrument will produce an operational data stream of one full disk image each minute, and those data will be made available to the public within minutes of observation. NOAA's Space Environment Center (SEC) receives the telemetry stream directly from SXI, processes the data, and sends them in real time to the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), where they are archived and published via a public interface on the World Wide Web (WWW). The geosynchronous orbit of GOES allows it to have direct line-of-sight observations of the Sun, 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. The only exception to this, is near equinox, when GOES enters Earth's shadow for up to an hour each day. The exposure settings follow a sequence that is optimized to observe coronal structures, active regions, and solar flares.
