Swarm Charlie: Data gaps from 28 April 2019

06 May 2019

Due to an onboard anomaly that occurred on Swarm Charlie, there are data gaps on all L0, L1A and L1B data products from 28 April 2019 onwards.

In particular, GPS and STR data are missing from 28/04/2019 06:53 UTC to 30/04/2019 13:50 UTC; and ACC, MAGNET and PLASMA data are missing from 28/04/2019 06:53 UTC to 02/05/2019 17:36 UTC.

Upon re-establishing a safe operational platform configuration and recovering all payloads to their nominal functioning, the Swarm team is now investigating the exact nature of the anomaly aiming at minimising the loss of redundancy caused by the failure.
