AB: The first generation Solar X-ray Imager (SXI) was launched onboard GOES-12 in 2001. The most unique aspect of the Solar X-ray Imager (SXI) data flow was that the data were transferred from the Space Environment Center (SEC) to the archive at the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) in real-time. The cost savings and convenience of this data handling strategy has encouraged SEC and NGDC to adopt a similar strategy to the next generation SXI to be flown onboard NOAA's GOES-N satellite in 2005. In addition, data from the GOES-N Space Environment Monitor (SEM) will also be delivered to NGDC in real-time, which will provide the opportunity to produce new data products that combine various data types. For example, the standard SXI movie products can be combined with whole disk X-ray Sensor (XRS) data, providing a means to visualize the relationship between the classic XRS trace and the X-ray image. NGDC is encouraging users of SXI and SEM to propose other data products that they would like to see produce from SXI and SEM in real-time.
