Date/Time Issued: January 31, 2026 2125Z

Product(s) or Data Impacted: Jason 3 data

Date/Time Initial Impact: January 31, 2025 1834Z

Date/Time of Expected End: TBD

Details/Specifics: Jason-3 USG-1 rev 46981 (AOS 1834Z) failed due to the inability to acquire telemetry. The next two scheduled supports at USG-1 are also expected to fail because of the ongoing issue at that site. Following those passes, we have two back-to-back Wallops supports (AOS 0005Z and 0200Z), and we expect to recover the data during those two supports.
