Emne: Metop-A Manoeuvre on 16. April 2013

Dear all,

the Metop-A satellite will perform an in-plane manoeuvre tomorrow, 16. April 2013, around 12:35 UTC. As usual, the Precise Orbit Determination component of the GRAS processing will go through a reset shortly after the event, and level 1 data will be degraded (and flagged accordingly) for up to 4 hours after the manoeuvre.

We expect the GRAS level 1 data to be of nominal quality again around 16:45 UTC.

With kind regards,

Christian.
