Position of Space Instrument, When a M or X class Flare notice

[Nilesh]

Do any body have idea when a M or X class Flare Sun emits , at that time what was position of that instrument that received it . LIKE  SDO on which area of earth it positioned that that. 

Thank you.

SDO’s inclined geosynchronous orbit was chosen to allow continuous observations of the Sun and enable its exceptionally high data rate through the use of a single dedicated ground station located in Mexico.

It orbits the earth at a height of ~36000 km in a figure 8 pattern located over Western side of Southern US and below.

Copy and paste link if it doesn’t work!

it shows the position of SDO in the last 48 hours. To find the position of SDO just check the animation at the time of flaring.

The published X-ray flux is reported from detectors onboard the GOES spacecrafts.
They are in geostationary orbit, 75.2° west (GOES-16) and 136.9° west (GOES-18).

Thank you for your reply.

Is it possible for this site controller that they provide the position of sdo to with at least Higher >=c5 class flare. It will be easy for us both at a glance.

Thank you once again.

SDO doesn't have an instrument to measure x-ray flux.

The position is irrelevant, as long as it's in earths proximity. 
The flux decays at inverse square law. Even 1 million km distance would only make a difference of 1.3%.

As the others have mentioned, SDO is in geosynchronous orbit and the GOES satellites in geostationary orbits (GOES stands for Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite), so there would be virtually zero point for this site to provide their current position given how this has no bearing on anything pertaining to space weather. 

If you want to know where those satellites are at any given moment, then I'd rather recommend you use some site that provides satellite tracking; here is e.g. the position of GOES-18 provided by one such site.

I think It is possible. You know there is more they could do in it , for a proper analysis at a glance, one the them is satellite position. 

Thank you for tracking site.
