The Jason-2 spacecraft entered safe mode Saturday, February 16th 2019 @14:56:48 UTC immediately interrupting its measurements.

The satellite is currently in a safe and stable Sun-pointing configuration. The analysis of the telemetry shows that the safe hold mode is the result of a gyro #2 disjunction. Those gyro anomalies are well known.
