Jason-3 has now nearly completed its maneuvers to the interleaved position on the reference orbit

Jason-3 has now nearly completed its maneuvers to the interleaved position on the reference orbit. The operation was successful, and Jason-3 is expected to behave nominally as soon as the Poseidon altimeter is restarted.

As expected, POSEIDON will be restarted on Monday 25^th at 11:00UTC, on pass 159 of cycle 300.

The first OGDRs will be available around 12:00UTC.

CNES will then process the IGDRs and perform a quick validation. IGDRs will not be distributed before the end of next week (around April 29^th).
