Topic: Jason-3 maneuver
Date/Time Issued: August 15, 2022 1735Z
Product(s) or Data Impacted: Jason-3 Operational Geophysical Data Records (OGDRs)
Date/Time of Initial Impact: August 21, 2022 22:35:36Z
Date/Time of Expected End: TBD
Length of Outage: Any impact to products would be 30 minutes before and up to 2 hours following the maneuver.
Details/Specifics of Change: A Jason-3 maneuver is scheduled for 21-August-2022 starting at 22:35:36Z . There will be an expected change of 5.86m in the semi-major axis possibly resulting in large radial orbit errors in the OGDRs. Over any ocean points, this will affect the sea surface height, but not the wind and wave content in the products.
