Date/Time of Expected End: TBD

Length of Event: Any impact to products would be 30 minutes before and up to 2 hours following the maneuver.

Details/Specifics of Change: A Jason-3 maneuver is scheduled for 7-January-2024 starting at 16:31:56Z. There will be an expected increase of 12m in the semi-major axis (exact sma increase might slightly change) possibly resulting in large radial orbit errors in the OGDRs. Over any ocean points, this will affect the sea surface height, but not the wind and wave content in the products.
