Jason-2 in safe hold mode from 2018/07/18 09:00 TU to 2018/07/25 08:30 TU (SHM starts just after the last maneuver to place Jason-2 on i-LRO).  First cycle of i-LRO (from 2018/07/25) is numbered 600 (see dorismail 1126). See details for DORIS data availability in dorismail 1128.

Maneuvers on July 16 and 18 to place Jason-2 on an Interleaved Long Repeat Orbit (i-LRO) for the second geodetic cycle, on a ground track in the middle of the grid defined by the first geodetic cycle (see dorismail 1124 and previous dorismail 1075)

Happy Birthday Jason 2!

Today, June 20, the OSTM/Jason-2 mission (Ocean Surface Topography Mission) marks its 10^th year in orbit. (see dorismail 1117)

DORIS/Sentinel-3B switched on on May 1st.

Local tie file updated (see dorismail 1113). Also reachable through the Documents page (section "Stations")

Data availability during last Jason-2 Safe Hold Mode (see dorismail 1105)

Antenna replacement at Sal (Cape Verde Islands) (dorismail 1091)

Data availability during recent periods of Safe Hold Mode of Jason-2: DORIS1B data and the satellite orbits are not delivered; DORIS/Rinex are disseminated to IDS (as well as the solar panel / attitude quaternions files) but with a degraded quality because of the SHM and the non-nominal attitude law (see dorismail 1087). 

Jason-2 in Safe Hold Mode since 2017/09/14 07:13:04 UTC. More information on Jason-2 status in dorismail 1080

Local tie file updated (see dorismail 1079). Also reachable through the Documents page (section "Stations")

 Jason-2 will be moved to a Long Repeat Orbit (LRO) at 1309.5 km. More information from last JSG held on June  20^th in dorismail 1075.

Antenna change at Sal (Cape Verde Islands) (dorismail 1074)

Jason-2 in Safe Hold Mode since 2017/05/17 22h26:57 UTC. More information on Jason-2 status in dorismail 1073

Jason-2 was in Safe Hold Mode from March 15, 2017 to March 29, 2017. No DORIS 2.2 data and no orbit for this period. RINEX files available during that period but with some gaps (see dorismail 1071)

Jason-2 has been moved to be placed in a interleaved orbit with respect to Jason-3 orbit. The period of the corresponding manoeuver is between October 2 and October 12, 2016 (see dorismails 1045 1046)

--> No orbit and no DORI2.2 data are available on IDS data Centers during this period, but the RINEX-DORIS are available

Jason-2 moved to the interleaved orbit in early October (see dorismail 1042)
