Jason 2 in Safe Hold Mode on October 19th at 11:41:34UTC

On October 19th 2018 at 11:41:34UTC, Jason-2 entered in Safe Hold Mode due to the (now usual and expected) disjunction anomaly on Gyro 2. At that time, another anomaly, due to the corruption of the mass memory onboard was already preventing any products generation since October 18th around 11:11UTC. This memory corruption anomaly has no direct link with the gyro disjunction. Next week, investigations on the corruption anomaly will be carried on, and the SHM recovery schedule will be decided accordingly.  Operational teams are currently doing their best to recover the mission as soon as possible.
