Jason-3 DORIS instrument provides real time ephemeris

Category: News of the Jason-3 mission
The DIODE software onboard Jason-3 DORIS instrument provides real time ephemeris since yesterday around noon. The data quality was impacted by the satellite attitude law (so-called barbecue) but since today Jason-3 is using a nominal pointing law which allows to reach good accuracy as depicted on the DIODE navigator quality index.
