Currently the spacecraft is pointing Earth in nominal mode and the Earth Terminals are in high rate mode. Laser stations are invited to resume their activities on Jason-2. The schedule plans a Poseidon-3 restart on 12th September around 12:00 UT, an AMR & GPSP restart around 14:00 UT. The Near Real Time processing will be resumed just after.
