NOAA-20 Rephasing Maneuver Burn Planned for March 19th and 20th 2024
On March 20th, 2024, at 17:07:45 UTC, NOAA-20 will execute a propulsive maneuver to begin the rephasing campaign.
The following observatory systems will be affected on March 20th, 2024:
16:47:45 UTC - 19:08:34 UTC CERES in Contam-Safe mode, science data will not be available
16:57:45 UTC - 17:37:34 UTC OMPS in Decon mode, Science data will not be available
17:02:45 UTC - 17:45:34 UTC HRD will be turned off, data for direct broadcast users will be unavailable
NOAA-20 will be pointing off-nadir for 0:34:44. Data collected during that time period may be impacted and/or not disseminated
All of the above times are approximate and subject to change.
Rephasing NOAA-20 will take approximately 15 days. During this time, NOAA-20 will not meet its orbit requirements. Users should exercise caution when using the NOAA-20 science data. Any use of this data is undertaken at the user's own risk.
An orbit-raising maneuver will be performed on April 4th, 2024, to conclude the NOAA-20 rephasing campaign. The end time of the activity is approximate, and an updated notice will be issued to announce this activity.
