Happy New Year 2025!
A series of orbital maneuvers will be performed beginning on January 7, 2025, for about 3 weeks to allow Jason-3 to reach the orbit of Sentinel-6 MF and fly behind it with a one minute delay. Note that no (O/I)GDR products will be produced during this time. Nominal production of Jason-3 (O/I)GDR products is scheduled to resume late January with the GDR-01 standard. Distribution will follow in February after necessary CalVal analysis.
