| 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. |

| Revision History: | [Original] From 20/03/2022, the daily Meteosat-8 Upper HRV Window shift time will change from 14:00 UTC to 15:00 UTC to better optimise the illumination for the Spring/Summer season. The 15:00 UTC shift time will remain in place until 21 September 2022 included. Please note that IODC service will be taken over by Met-9 as of 01 June 2022 (see UNS announcement 7781). |

| Detail: | As part of the manoeuvres preparations, the altimeter will be switched off at 13:36 UTC on 7 April 2022, marking the start of the mission outage. |
| Revision History: | [Original] Jason-3 will move to an interleaved orbit with Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich which will become the Reference Altimetry Mission. The series of manoeuvres to place Jason-3 into interleaved orbit will start on 7 April 2022. During the duration of the manoeuvres, the Jason-3 altimeter will be switched off. The provision of Jason-3 altimetry products to users will resume on 25 April 2022, when Jason-3 will already be in interleaved orbit with Sentinel-6. For full details, see the URL provided below. |

| Detail: | Extra transponder measurements for Sentinel-3A SRAL: Starting 14/04/2022 18:16:37, Sentinel-3A will start using a transponder site in Catalina, USA. To conduct this transponder pass, the on-board DEM (Digital Elevation Model) altitude value must be temporarily updated in RAM to align with the transponder site elevation, and is reverted immediately after the pass. A short outage immediately before and after the pass will be introduced, and data should be considered degraded as per non-nominal acquisition mode, for a total duration of approx. 24 seconds over the transponder location (33° 26' 48.0934644" North latitude and 118° 28' 46.9879428" West longitude) for all relative orbits number (RON) 140 (as it can be seen in the product filename) - from cycle 84 (inclusive) onwards. |
