Update #1 - FinalUpdateM-bM-^@M-^SM-BAfter confirming nominal location
accuracy from a few US ground stations using new time
calibration data provided by the FMCC, the USMCC resumed
normal distribution of S13 SARP data.
Topic:
SARSAT 13 (METOP B/M1) LEO
SatelliteSearch
and Rescue Processor (SARP)anomaly
Date/Time Issued:May 11, 20191755Z
Product(s) or Data Impacted: SARSAT alert data
Date/Time of Initial Impact: May 08, 2019 1711Z
Date/Time of
Expected End: May 11, 2019 1750Z
Length of
Outage: 3 days 39 minutes
Details/Specifics of Change: The SARSAT SatelliteS13(METOP B/M1) has suffered ananomalyon theSARPinstrument. Theanomalywas detected due to degraded location accuracy startingMay 08,2019at 1711Z. A SARP reset command was requested by the French MCC on May 10, 2019. The USMCC is currently filtering all S13 SARP data until a recalculated time calibration (TCAL) is received.
Impact:
Medium-Loss of Storage/forward capability. Satellite
is limited to real-time/local distress detection and
relay. Timeliness of global coverage detection and
relay affected.
