During that timeframe, a telemetry outage of less than 10 minutes should be expected. After that operation, Jason-3 telemetry will already benefit the updates of the DEM.  A last operation will take place tomorrow, Thursday 31st of August, around 14:30UTC, with an expected telemetry outage of approximately 3 minutes.
