Dear all,

I'm writing to let you know that Metop-B will undergo a scheduled in-plane manoeuvre on Wednesday, 7th August 2013, around 13:11 UTC. As usual, GRAS level 1b bending angle data (as well as downstream level 2 data produced by the ROM SAF) will be degraded for approximately 4 hours after the event due to the necessary reset of the precise orbit determination shortly after the manoeuvre. The data will be flagged accordingly.

GRAS data from Metop-A will not be affected.

With kind regards,

Christian.
