Summary

• Science and Ops requirements, – OSTM/Jason-2 Products– System improvements
• Mission status– Station acquisition and keeping strategy– Satellite– Launcher– Ground System
OSTM/Jason2 - OSTST Hobart - March 12, 2007 7
• Jason-2 shall pursue the scientific objectives of the T/P and Jason-1 missions and support the running operational services
• Jason-2 shall meet the better than 3.5 cm rms accuracy, at 1 Hz, on the fully validated sea surface height measurements and shall provide intermediate products with the required delay and accuracy
• In addition to wave height and wind speed, NRT products need to include SSH information, with the required accuracy, for monitoring and forecast ocean fast events
• Expectation of improving performances through off-line ground-processing updates
• Expectation of collecting a maximum of valid data near the coasts, over inland waters and sea-ice, in order to support emerging research in coastal dynamics, hydrology, sea-ice interactions…
Summary of science and Ops requirements
OSTM/Jason2 - OSTST Hobart - March 12, 2007 8
Products
• All O/I/GDR products will have the same format and very close scientific content.
– OGDR = IGDR but the following :• Orbit is computed using Doris Navigator files on OGDR• Meteorological fields are predicted• Pole Tide, Altimeter and radiometer calibration values (historical files)• Dynamic Atmospheric correction (derived from Mog2D) is not available • GIM ionospheric correction (derived from JPL maps) is not available • Platform derived off-nadir angle is not available
– IGDR = GDR but the following :• Orbit is computed using MOE ephemeris • Pole Tide, Altimeter and radiometer calibration values (historical files)• Dynamic Atmospheric correction (derived from Mog2D) is less accurate
• Taken into account Jason-1 heritage, products will be split into several files :
– One file close to current Jason-1 NRT-SSHA, limited to 1Hz sampling. – One file close to current Jason-1 I/GDR, containing 1hz and 20hz values. – One file close to current Jason-1 SGDR, containing 1hz, 20hz and waveforms values. This file will
not be generated in NRT.
• User Handbooks, reading tools, products samples will be defined and delivered to OSTST group in a few months
OSTM/Jason2 - OSTST Hobart - March 12, 2007 9
OGDR products (Near Real Time)
• Description : – NRT geophysical product, data latency of 3 hours.– DORIS/DIODE onboard orbit : 10 cm rms for the radial component– Ground retracking is performed and all environmental and geophysical corrections
computed. – Non fully validated product which contains data for both bands (Ku and C).– Two files :
• SSHA_OGDR : close to current Jason-1 NRT-SSHA, limited to 1Hz sampling.
• OGDR : close to current Jason-1 I/GDR, containing 1hz and 20hz values.
• Keys inputs : – Satellite telemetry– Auxiliary data
• Production requirement : – For the OGDR, 75% of the data taken shall be made available to the users within 3
hours from acquisition and 95% of the data within 5 hours.– No dynamical auxiliary data are mandatory input for OGDR processing. In case of lack
of dynamical auxiliary data, the corresponding OGDR field will be computed with the most recent data available (none field being set to default).

Some system improvements
“Collecting a maximum of valid data near the coasts, over inland waters” Achieved through implementing new altimeter functional modes: “Median Tracker algorithm ” in addition to the current Poseidon 2 “Split Gate Tracker
algorithm” (adapted to ocean surfaces)• should improve significantly echo tracking capability over non ocean surfaces
Use of satellite altitude data provided in real time by DORIS/Diode :
2 new experimental modes :
Signal acquisition using Diode altitude data + usual on-board tracker :• should improve the delay to get echoes after a land-water transition (3 times better)
Range directly computed from : Diode altitude data + Digital Elevation Model data • DEM data stored on-board, representative of oceans, lakes and rivers, and flat land
areas• should improve data collection near the coasts and over inland waters
Final altimeter nominal mode will be selected after data evaluation during the assessment phase
OSTM/Jason2 - OSTST Hobart - March 12, 2007 14
Some system improvements
• New coastal & inland water product (demonstrative one) :
– ITT has been issued by CNES to develop a new product suitable for applications in coastal and inland areas.
– All current ground processing will be reviewed and analyzed.
– We foresee :• Dedicated retracking and radiometer algorithms
• Dedicated geophysical corrections (tides, ssb, …)
• Dedicated environmental corrections (wet tropo, iono, …)
– Prototype shall be ready for Jason-2 launch, operated during CalVal phase and products made available to OSTST community for review.
– Using OSTST feedbacks, this demonstrative product might become an official product during Jason-2 operation phase.

1 km
Jason-1 is maintained in a control
box of ± 1 km Each satellite remains in its control box
by controlling the equator crossing.The station keeping is made independently
Improvement wrt Jason-1 :for Jason-2 station keeping, maneuvers will be made with only one thrust above earth on any orbit (no more on the last orbit of the 10-day cycle)
• Tandem flight with Jason-1 planned for both altimeters cross-calibration purposes• Jason-2 final orbit characteristics :
- semi axis = 1336 km; inclination = 66° (same ground tracks as Jason-1)- Jason-2 : 1 minute ahead Jason-1
OSTM/Jason2 - OSTST Hobart - March 12, 2007 17
Station acquisition strategy
• Injection orbit (same as Jason-1)– 10 km below the nominal Jason-2 orbit : to avoid polluting the operational orbit
by pieces of launcher and to create a drift to reach the right time phase between Jason-2 and Jason-1.
• Maximal duration for station acquisition : 1 month• Number of rendezvous maneuvers and duration of the station acquisition depends
on the launch date (day number in the Jason cycle).

• DGxx BDR corresponds to a new design of DORIS receivers– USO NG design (different from JASON1 USO design) but with a 5
MHz resonator (instead of 10 MHz) to improve short-term stability– Improvement of resonator selection and process method to reduce
USO sensitivity to radiation in SAA area (DORIS/JASON1 lessons learned)
• Flight Model 4 delivered and assembled on the satellite

• The instrument is comprised of a 23.8 GHz water vapor sensing channel, an 18.7 GHz channel to estimate ocean surface contributions, and a 34.0 GHz channel to estimate cloud liquid content
• Measures single polarization, radiometric brightness temperatures in a nadir beam co-aligned with that of the CNES supplied Poseidon-3 altimeter, i.e. it provides “wet” tropospheric path delay correction for nadir altimeter range measurement. Critical to meeting OSTM science requirements.
• Same functional requirements as the JMR but different implementation which lead to a new generation design : less mass and power
• New antenna design with larger reflector (1m) and inherited JMR feed, significantly reduces calibration uncertainties and improves coastal resolution
• Instrument has completed testing and has been delivered to CNES/Alcatel (Feb ’07) and is integrated on the S/C
• Closure of one open point: Rework of Noise Source units and swap with existing flight HW is planned for April ‘07
