Topic: S-NPP SMD Data Delay

Date/Time Issued: September 25, 2026, 1500z

Product(s) or Data Impacted:  All S-NPP SMD Data from missed FCDAS contacts

Date/Time of Initial Impact:  September 25th, 2026 1226z (JDAY 268)

Date/Time of Expected End:   September 25th, 2026 2235z (JDAY 268) 

Length of Outage:   10 Hours, 8 minutes, 32 seconds

Details/Specifics of Change:  Due to antenna resource allocation limitations, science data from the following S-NPP FCDAS contacts are expected to be delayed. We will attempt to recover as much data as possible:
