The Cnes-Nasa Joint Steering Group directed the Jason-1 Project to move the satellite to a geodetic orbit.[more]
09.05.2012 [Envisat] End of mission
Few weeks after celebrating its tenth year of services, Envisat has stopped sending data to Earth. After investigation and several scenarios, no reaction from the satellite is observed. Esa declares officially the end of mission for Envisat.[more]
24.04.2012 [jason-1]: Status Update
The Jason-1 project teams at CNES and NASA/JPL have now completed all prerequisite tasks required to enable a safe recovery of the mission from the safe hold it has been in since 3 March 2012.[more]
12.04.2012 Envisat services interrupted
After 10 years of service, Envisat has stopped sending data to Earth. ESA’s mission control is working to re-establish contact with the satellite.[more]
28.03.2012 [Jason-1]: The future of the mission still under discussion
Cnes and Nasa/JPL are still discussing about the future of Jason-1.[more]
19.03.2012 [Jason-1]: News about our 'old' Jason-1
Jason 1 is in Safe Hold Mode since March 3rd 2012. The recovery procedure is in progress but many questions has to be solved before continuing.[more]

02.03.2012 [Jason-1] Jason-1: on the road to recovery
As you may know, Jason-1 is in safe-hold-mode since February 16th 17:20 UTC due to an anomaly detected on the gyro 3. After analysis of the problem (certainly caused by a SEU (Single Event Upset) in the SAA (South Atlantic Anomaly) zone), Jason-1 is about to recover nominal situation.[more]
17.02.2012 [Jason-1] Jason-1 in Safe Hold mode
Dear users, Jason 1 is in Safe Hold Mode since February 16th at 17:20 UT. CNES and NASA/JPL are currently analyzing the problem to find the origin of this situation. Note that no data will be available during this unfortunate event, we will keep you informed about the results of investigations as soon as possible.[more]
09.02.2012 [Jason-2] Temporary interruption due to altimeter calibration on 2012/02/10
Please note that there will be a mission unavailability of 33 minutes and 22 seconds on Jason-2 on Friday, 10 February 2012 between 00h42mn32s and 01h15mn54s TU. This interruption is due to special calibration of the POSEIDON-3 altimeter. Therefore, some altimetry data will miss and data gaps are expected in Duacs along-track products.[more]
