Detail:

Starting 31/01/2023 09:39:49 S3B will start performing SRAL external calibrations over a transponder site in Leonessa. To conduct this transponder pass, the on-board Digital Elevation Model (DEM) altitude value must be temporarily updated in RAM, and is reverted immediately after the pass. A short outage immediately before and after the pass will be introduced, and data should be considered degraded as per non-nominal acquisition mode, for a total duration of approx.27 seconds over the transponder location (42.61607° N, 13.03780° E) for all relative orbits number (RON) 306 - from cycle 75 (inclusive) onwards.

Revision History:

[Original] Small signal level variations with the EUMETCast Europe service have been noticed, which could have differing data reception impacts depending upon the location and antenna size of the user reception station. To mitigate any potential issues, maintenance on the satellite and the uplink service with the contractors is planned on 20 September 2023, with the aim of improving signal levels on the EUMETCast Europe service, provided via EUTELSAT 10B. During the maintenance window, some disruption and short outages to EUMETCast services (BAS, HVS-1 and HVS-2), can be expected. [Rev.1]

Detail:

During the OLCI lunar observation the following NRT products are subject to degradation during the times listed: OLCI - 19:26 to 19:32; SLSTR IR Channels 18:41 to 19:32; SLSTR VIS Channels - 19:14 to 19:32. SRAL NRT products are subject to be degraded and gaps can be experienced from sensing times 2023-09-29T18:42 to 2023-08-29T19:13. SRAL STC and NTC production gaps for sensing times 2023-09-29T18:42 to 2023-09-29T19:13 (RON[1-385] 40 to 42) are expected.

Revision History:

[Original] The exact times of the degradation will be announced closer to the day of the OLCI lunar calibration.

[Original] Small signal level variations with the EUMETCast Europe service have been noticed, which could have differing data reception impacts depending upon the location and antenna size of the user reception station. To mitigate any potential issues, maintenance on the satellite and the uplink service with the contractors is planned on 20 September 2023, with the aim of improving signal levels on the EUMETCast Europe service, provided via EUTELSAT 10B. During the maintenance window, some disruption and short outages to EUMETCast services (BAS, HVS-1 and HVS-2), can be expected. [Rev.1]

Detail:

Station keeping manoeuvre. The semi-major axis will be increased by 12.3m resulting in radial orbit errors in the OGDRs. OGDR products may be degraded 30 minutes before and up to 2 hours after the manoeuvre. This will affect the sea surface height, but not the wind and wave content in the products.

During the OLCI lunar observation the following NRT products are subject to degradation during the times listed: OLCI - 19:26 to 19:32; SLSTR IR Channels 18:41 to 19:32; SLSTR VIS Channels - 19:14 to 19:32. SRAL NRT products are subject to be degraded and gaps can be experienced from sensing times 2023-09-29T18:42 to 2023-08-29T19:13. SRAL STC and NTC production gaps for sensing times 2023-09-29T18:42 to 2023-09-29T19:13 (RON[1-385] 40 to 42) are expected.

Revision History:
