The PMA GPS OnBoard SoftWare has been uploaded successfully on Jason-2's spacecraft. Nominal recovery activities restart today (2017/03/22).

The exact foreseen sequence for restart is now to switch on Poseidon, AMR and GPSP on Friday 24th around 10:30UTC (2017/03/24). This means that the first products should be available around 13:00UTC, after a first orbit of measurements. However, please note that those first products could be impacted by the drag make-up maneuver that needs to be performed around 13:00UTC.

Christophe Marechal, JA2/3 CNES project manager, on behalf of Jason-2 project managers from NOAA, EUMETSAT and JPL
