Category: Operational news

Jason-2 will soon be in a favorable period for restart, and the planning for mission resuming has been defined.

Jason-2 will soon be in a favorable period for restart, and the planning for mission resuming has been defined.  All instruments should be restarted on Friday, October 13th, during a pass at 05:41UTC. Data production should restart right after the pass. A drag make-up maneuver will also be performed on the same day, at 02:01UTC. As this maneuver will be performed more than 1 orbit before instruments restart, it will have no impact on products. Christophe Marechal, CNES Jason 2 project manager on behalf of Jason-2 project managers from NOAA, EUMETSAT and JPL.
