Correction to Update #4: After further investigation, the SNPP spacecraft entered a non-nominal state at ~16:24:49 UTC on July 26, 2022, after which all SMD and telemetry data was inaccessible. While the root cause continues to be investigated, subsequent contacts have confirmed the spacecraft and all instruments are currently in a safe mode state. Engineering will continue to restore all instruments and science data to an operational state once a plan forward has been determined. All missed data will not be recoverable. The NOAA-20 spacecraft will continue to provide all the primary JPSS science data needs. An update to this notice will be posted by 15:00 UTC on July 27, 2022.
Update #5: There have been no changes in status since the last update as engineering continues to troubleshoot. An update to this notice will be posted as new information becomes available.

Update #3: IDPS is still not receiving NPP SMD data. The problem is still being investigated.
Update #2: IDPS is still not receiving NPP SMD data. The problem is still being investigated.
Update #1: IDPS is still not receiving NPP SMD data due to a possible antenna issue. The problem is being investigated.
