TO: All GCN Circuluars and Notices Clients Due to the huricane, Goddard Space Flight Center is taking precautions to protect its infrastructure. This may include shutting down all of its networks, computers, and other systems. The situation is uncertain as to how wide this protection will be. If the outage does occur, it will start some time today (after 16:00 UT, Thurs, 18 Sep 2003) and will likely continue until at least late Friday (the minimum expected outage is ~30 hrs). The outage could last longer if there is storm damage to the electrical grid supplying power to GSFC. This outage affects (1) the GCN Notices (emails, sockets, cells, pagers, etc) (2) the GCN Circulars, and (3) the GCN web site. All parts will go down and come back at the same time (they are dependant on the availability of the Internet). I will send out another announcement when the GCN system is back on the air (collecting and distributing burst information). I apologize for the loss of service and data.
