Date/Time(UTC) of Initial Implementation:
17 September 2009, Time 1417 UTC
Details/Specifics of Change:
A MetOp-2/A out-of-plane maneuver is planned for September 17 at 1417 UTC. The AVHRR instrument will remain on and in scan mode. The geolocations will be questionable for several orbits.
Eumetsat has released the following information:
A single burn out-of-plane manoeuvre is confirmed for 2009-09-17.
Burn 1: 14:17:42 duration 4.816 seconds (duration=0 means no burn)
Scheduled instrument activities during the manoeuvre are:
AMSU-A1: deactivation 2009-09-17 09:16:08. Activation 2009-09-17 15:32:09
AMSU-A2: deactivation 2009-09-17 09:21:08. Activation 2009-09-17 15:37:09
ASCAT: deactivation 2009-09-17 00:00:00. Activation 2009-09-17 00:00:00
GOME: deactivation 2009-09-17 12:56:37. Activation 2009-09-17 14:37:38
GRAS: deactivation 2009-09-17 00:00:00. Activation 2009-09-17 00:00:00
HIRS: deactivation 2009-09-17 09:13:38. Activation 2009-09-17 14:50:40
IASI: deactivation 2009-09-17 09:09:38. Activation 2009-09-17 15:39:57
MHS: deactivation 2009-09-17 09:17:38. Activation 2009-09-17 14:51:33
SEM: science data packets will contain only MEPED valid data between 2009-09-17 09:11:08 and 2009-09-17 15:27:09
Reduced product quality should be expected for data sensed during this period
