On or after June 16, 2025, at approximately 18:00 UTC, NOAA will end delivery of all data from the POES constellation of satellites (NOAA-15 and NOAA-19). 

All users should make plans to discontinue use of POES data from NOAA-15 and NOAA-19 as these data and services will no longer be made available after June 16, 2025.

Further information is available within the following NOAA NESDIS notification:

In addition, POES data from the NOAA-18 satellite ceased on June 6, 2025 at 17:40 UTC after a transmitter failure led to the decision by NOAA to decommission the NOAA-18 satellite ahead of schedule.
