Emne: Metop-A Out-of-Plane Maneouvre on Wednesday, 26 March 2014

Dear all,

I'm writing to let you know that Metop-A will undergo an out-of-plane manoeuvre on

Wednesday, 26. March 2014,

between (approximately) 13:00 and 13:45 UTC during which no science data will be available from GRAS. Afterwards, a reset of the precise Orbit Determination component of the operational GRAS processing will take place, followed by a 4 hour period of degraded level 1b / bending angle data. The data will be flagged accordingly. Level 2 data (refractivity) as provided by the ROM SAF will also be affected.

Note that in about two weeks, a second out-of-plane manoeuvre for Metop-A will follow; I will let you know when we are closer to that event.

Data from Metop-B is not affected.

With kind regards,

Christian.
