Envisat services interrupted
Category: News of the other missions
- the along-track data (NRT-SLA and NRT-ADT) : no data after April 9, 2012 in the enn_cf/ folders
- the impact on gridded data (NRT-MSLA and NRT-MADT) is not major for now, since the data are computed using 42 days of data before the date the data represent. If the situation continues, however, the merged grids will be made using only two satellites (Jason-2 and Cryosat), thus with a loss in sampling.

After 10 years of service, Envisat has stopped sending data to Earth. ESA's mission control is working to re-establish contact with the satellite.
After 10 years of service, Envisat has stopped sending data to Earth on April 8, 2012. ESA's mission control is working to re-establish contact with the satellite. As is standard practice, an anomaly review board is investigating the cause for the break in communications. Ssalto/Duacs NRT distributed by Aviso are impacted:- the along-track data (NRT-SLA and NRT-ADT) : no data after April 9, 2012 in the enn_cf/ folders
