[Jason-2] Restart of core mission

Category: Operational news

Friday 5th April, the POSEIDON3 altimeter, the AMR radiometer and precise GPS have been switched on; allowing the mission to restart nominally.

The Jason-2 satellite is again operational. 

Friday 5th April, at 14:14z, the POSEIDON3 altimeter has been switched on; 2 hours after, AMR radiometer and precise GPS were also enabled (around 16:26z and 16:30z respectivelly) allowing the mission to restart nominally. 

  • NRT  products (OGDR) should be distributed by EUMETSAT and NOAA in the coming hours. 
  • Off line products (IGDRs) will be produced with some delays and the routine production should resume nominally next week. 

The Jason-2 mission was interrupted since cycle 174.  Normal science operations will resume at beginning of cycle 175.

Jason-2 passengers will be switched on Monday 8th April.

I hope that our preferred satellite will let us now some quiet weeks….

Many thanks to the CNES and NOAA Ops teams for this quick and efficient recovery.
