[Jason-2] : Data production resumed - first products available
2017-07-27On 20 June 2017, the 4-Partner Joint Steering Group directed the Jason-2 Project to undertake a series of maneuvers to reduce the orbit semi-major axis by 27 km. This has placed Jason-2 into a new long-repeat orbit (LRO) at roughly 1309.5 km altitude. Final orbit transfer activities were completed on 10 July 2017. At 09:16 UTC on Tuesday, 11 July, CNES control centre successfully commanded the restart of the core Jason-2 payload instruments.
