The following observatory systems will be affected on September 24, 2020:
1709Z – 1925Z CERES in Contam-Safe mode, science data will not be available
1719Z – 1801Z OMPS in Decon mode, Science data will not be available
1724Z – 1802Z HRD will be off, data for direct broadcast users will be unavailable
1729Z – 1757Z S-NPP pointing off-nadir, collected data during that time period may be impacted and not disseminated. ATMS data may be perturbed due to maneuver-induced spacecraft vibrations and its effects on the scan drive.
