Topic: S-NPP/OMPS special DIAG SCIENCE measurements

 

Date/Time Issued: July 31, 2026 1825z

 

Product(s) or Data Impacted: Routine NomOps dayside measurement (CBM) activities will be replaced with DIAG SCIENCE

activities on eight (8) full orbits spread across 2 days, that is, specifically, 4 orbits per day.

 

Date/Time of Initial Impact: Aug. 13, 2026, 0137Z

 

Date/Time of Expected End: Aug. 14, 2026, 1813Z

 

Length of Outage/Event: 40 Hours 37 Minutes

 

Details/Specifics: Eight (8) special orbits of S-NPP/OMPS DIAG SCIENCE data will occur on the dates/times listed below. These special orbits will result in no NOM APID science data on those orbits.
