Description

Dear GRAS SAF GTS user Issued 2011-03-29 10:28 UTC Metop-A will undergo an in-plan manoeuvre on Thursday, 31 March 2011 around 13:20 UTC. It is expected that there will be a reset of the Precise Orbit Determination processing and subsequently that GRAS level 1b and GRAS SAF level 2 data will be flagged as degraded for some hours after that. For more information please see the message from EUMETSAT below. With kind regards The GRAS SAF Team --- -----Original Message----- From: Christian Marquardt Sent: Monday, March 28, 2011 5:02 PM Subject: Metop-A manoeuvre on 31 Mar 2011 Dear all, Metop-A will undergo an in-plan manoeuvre on coming Thursday, 31. March 2011 around 13:20 UTC. The manoeuvre aims at both grounding the wheels inside the spacecraft as well as maintaining Metop's ground track within specifications. Most instruments including GRAS will remain to be in measurement mode, but we do expect that a reset of the Precise Orbit Determination in the GRAS data processing will be necessary shortly after the manoeuvre. This will cause a degradation of the bending angle products for up to four hours; the data will be flagged accordingly. I will keep you informed about the progess of the manoeuvre as far it is relevant for GRAS on Thursday. With kind regards, Chris. -- Dr. Christian Marquardt, Polar System Product Expert EUMETSAT, Eumetsat Allee 1, D-64295 Darmstadt, Germany Tel: +49-6151-807456, Fax: +49-6151-807304 Email: christian.marquardt@eumetsat.int, Web: http://www.eumetsat.int --- You are receiving this email because you have subscribed to the gts mailing list.
