Dear all,

Just wanted to let you know that Metop-B will undergo another out-of-plane manoeuvre tomorrow,

Wednesday, 22 Oct 2014, between 11:47 and 11:56 UTC

Afterwards, the GRAS processing will go through a reset of its Precise Orbit Determination component, resulting in 4 hours of degraded level 1b (bending angle) and level 2 (refractivity produced downstream by the ROM SAF) data after the event. We expect that both level 1b and level 2 data will be of nominal quality again shortly after 16:00 UTC.

GRAS data from Metop-A will not be affected.

With kind regards,

Christian.
