[Jason-3] Jason-3 in Safe Hold Mode since Feb 24th 09:57:16TU

Category: Operational news

On Sunday, February 24th, at 09:57:16TU, the Jason-3 spacecraft entered safe hold mode, immediately interrupting its measurements due to an important mispointing.

Our teams are currently investigating the exact reasons of that mispointing, in the objective of restarting Jason-3 measurements as soon as possible.
We will keep you informed of the schedule for mission recovery.
Christophe Marechal, CNES Jason 3 project manager on behalf of Jason-3 project managers from NOAA, EUMETSAT and JPL.
