| Comments: | Updated information from ICES for the platform JASON-2 from FRANCE and UNITED STATES. Name JASON-2 Country(s) FR: FRANCE; US: UNITED STATES Platform Class 65: Orbiting satellite Commissioned Date 2008-06-20 Decommissioned Date 2016 Information Source (URL) http://www.wmo-sat.info/oscar/satellites/view/205 OTHER INFORMATION: The Ocean Surface Topography Mission (OSTM) is a joint effort by four organizations to measure sea surface height by using a radar altimeter mounted on a low-earth orbiting satellite called Jason-2. The four mission participants are: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (US NOAA), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (US NASA), Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (FRANCE CNES), and European Meteorological Satellite Organisation (EU EUMETSAT). JASON-2 was built under direction from CNES. After launch by NASA, CNES and NASA transferred operation and control of the JASON-2 platform to NOAA. The Jason-2 satellite was launched in June 20, 2008. Submitted to ICES on 2014-06-04. Confirmed by NOAA on 2018-08-08. After more than 11 years in orbit and well beyond its three- to five-year mission baseline, the Ocean Surface Topography Mission (OSTM) on Jason-2 permanently ceased acquisition of scientific data at 06:48 UTC on 1 October 2019 due to aging-related issues onboard the spacecraft. |
