The OPS team at NOAA= and CNES applied immediately necessary procedures and the satellite is cur= rently in a safe and stable Sun-pointing configuration. First investigation= s show that Gyrometer 1 was blocked, triggering the reconfiguration to SHM.= The gyros temperature increase during period where Beta angle is high rema= ins a concern. All other equipments were OK at the time of the reconfiguration. The 4 partners operational teams are working closely to support current and= future operations. The mission will resume as soon as technically possible= , and we will keep you informed. Very best regards. T. Guinle & C. Marechal, CNES
