Details:

NOAA MODIS/Aqua hardware at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) lost  
power Saturday morning, January 26, 2008. As a result, CoastWatch  
ocean color products generated by the Okeanos system from MODIS/Aqua  
data for day 2008026 are delayed.

NOAA MODIS operations and maintenance (O&M) personnel provided the  
following information:

“Around 5am we lost power to all our servers at GSFC NASA.  Below is a
detailed message of what happen.  Power has been restored.  When task
personnel arrived at GSFC NASA all our servers were manually rebooted.
Bubbles initally had problems re-booting but is now unline.

We will be back processing the full 8 hrs of AIRS & AMSR-E.  MODIS will
be online shortly.  We will attempt to back process the last 8 hrs for
the AQUA Satellite.

Building 32’s UPS 5 has experienced a fault on Saturday, 1/26/8 at
approximately 6:24 AM.  The unit failed to automatically switch to
bypass, causing a loss of the load on UPS 5.  As of 7:15 AM, UPS 5 is
currently in MAINTENANCE BYPASS, meaning it is supplying strictly
utility power with no battery backup.  The maintenance provider has been
contacted and will begin repairs.”
