Update #4:  SNPP LTOAST products were distributed to PDA with the SNPP OMPS-LP products on 9/17.  

Date/Time Issued: September 23, 2025 1528 UTC

Update #3: Failure to update the ending date in the control file (CF)

caused SNPP jobs for OMP LP and LTOAST to fail on NCCF.  So, on

September 10, we will only be distributing OMPS LP and LTOAST products

for satellite N21 to PDA operations. OMPS LP and LTOAST products for satellite SNPP will be distributed on a later date. Notification will be sent.
