Objet : Jason-2 maneuver to geodetic cycle #2

Dear all,

This morning, Jason-2 has executed its first maneuver in order to be transf=
erred to an Interleaved Long Repeat Orbit. A second maneuver will be execut=
ed on Wednesday, July 18th in the morning in order to be placed on a ground=
 track in the middle of the grid defined by the first geodetic cycle.

On 18/07/2018 at 13:48:11z, the second geodetic cycle will begin. On this o=
ccasion, the cycle numbers will be restarted from 600.

At the end of this second geodetic cycle, geodetic data should be available=
 on a 4 kilometer grid.

Best regards,

Christophe Marechal, CNES Jason-2/3 project manager, on behalf of EUMETSAT,=
 NOAA & JPL project managers.
