| DATE: 2014-05-26 06:09 TYPE: NRT-GTS |
| Description |
Dear ROM SAF GTS User Issued 2014-05-26 06:08 UTC Due to a collision avoidance manoeuvre for Metop-B, the Metop-B bending angle products were degraded yesterday. Also the level 2a refractivity products were affected. For more details see the message from Christian Marquardt below. Level 2a Metop-A/GRAS refractivity products were not affected. With kind regards The ROM SAF Team ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Christian Marquardt [Christian.Marquardt@eumetsat.int] Sent: 25 May 2014 16:05 Dear all, in order to avoid a potential collision with a known space debris object, EUMETSAT will perform a collision avoidance manoeuvre for Metop-B today (Sunday), 2014/05/25 around 14:55 UTC For GRAS/Metop-B level 1 products, a reset of the Precise Orbit Determination system will be required. Thus, bending angle data will degraded for up to 4 hours after the manoeuvre, i.e. approximately until 19:00 UTC. Downstream level 2 data from GRAS/Metop-B (refractivity produced by the ROM SAF) will also be affected. Please note that no impact is expected for GRAS/Metop-A data. With kind regards, Christian. -- Dr. Christian Marquardt, Remote Sensing Expert EUMETSAT, Eumetsatallee 1, D-64295 Darmstadt, Germany Tel: +49-6151-8074560, Fax: +49-6151-807304 Email: christian.marquardt@eumetsat.int, Web: http://www.eumetsat.int |
