Description of Driving Event:
After the launch of the NOAA-15 spacecraft, an EMI/EMC interference affecting science data was noted in the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU)-B data. This interference was subsequently attributed to the SAR and S band transmitters and was due to inadequate AMSU-B shielding. The problem was aggravated by a malfunction in the spacecraft antenna. Fortunately, the AMSU-B data was recoverable on the ground through additional data manipulation and processing.
