Satellites: MET-9
Subject: general-announcement
Impact: no-impact
Detail: Meteosat-9 is planned to take over Meteosat-8 as the prime satellite for the IODC service from 1 June 2022. Its drift towards the 45.5°E target longitude will start on 1 February 2022, with the first drift manoeuvre scheduled at 06:00 UTC, followed by a second manoeuvre 12 hours later, at 18:00 UTC. The drift rate will be of ~0.5 deg/day until Meteosat-9 reaches the target longitude (current planned drift stop date is 20 April 2022). From 1 February 2022, Meteosat-9 will no longer be used as backup satellite for the Full Earth Scan Service and will no longer provide RSS gap-filling during Meteosat-10 RSS interruptions. [Rev. 2]: For more details on Meteosat-9 taking over the IODC service, see the URL provided below.

Detail: The altitude information in the altimetry products may be degraded from 30 minutes before up to 2 hours after the manoeuvre. The radiometer data in the radiometer and altimetry products may be degraded for the duration between the attitude mode transitions. This will affect the sea surface height, but not the wind and wave content in the altimetry products.

Impact: risk-of-degradation
Detail: On March 8, 2022 at 06:00z, S-NPP VIIRS will perform its annual Emissive Band Calibration. Due to the VIIRS blackbody temperature changes during the calibration, the VIIRS science data quality may be affected for certain applications, but the data is expected to remain within specification. The timeline of the blackbody heating/cooling cycle is the following: On 08 March: 06:00z - BB to 297.5K, 09:00z - BB to 302.5K, 12:00z - BB to 307.5K, 15:00z - BB to 312.5K, 18:00z - BB to 315K and 21:00z - BB temperature control off. On 09 March: 21:00z - BB temperature control on and set to 272.5K. On 10 March: 00:00z - BB to 282.5K and 03:00z - BB to 292.5K.
