[JASON-2] Status update
Category: Operational news
Following the safe hold mode triggered on February 20th, it has then been decided to restart operations on Jason-2 as soon as possible
Investigations performed since last week show that the safe hold mode triggered on February 20th is again due to the same gyro failure as previously. It has then been decided to restart operations on Jason-2 as soon as possible, using gyrometer #1, which has been inactive since October 2017.
The Poseidon Altimeter and all payload instruments will be restarted on March 2nd around 10:00UTC, i.e. on pass 216 of cycle 523. However, in order to take sufficient time to check the quality of the products generated, the first post-SHM OGDRs and IGDRs will only be disseminated on Monday, March, 5th.
We will keep you informed of the next events.
