bolides.fov_utils.get_obs_intervals(satellite)

Get the operational intervals and FOV orientations of a GOES satellite’s GLM.

Reads the packaged data/glm##_obs.csv file that records when the given satellite was active and, for GOES-17, which yaw-flip orientation it was in.

Parameters:

satellite: int or str

A GOES satellite identifier accepted by _normalize_satellite (e.g. 16, 'g16', 'glm-16', 'goes-16').

Returns:

DataFrame

A frame with at least the columns boundary, start and end. start/end are ISO-format date strings (end may be empty, meaning “still active”); boundary is a name understood by get_boundary.
