Swarm L1B ORBATT and MAGNET operational processor updated

06 Jun 2024

On 5 June 2024 an improved version for L1B ORBATT and MAGNET Operational Processors has been transferred into operation.

The updated version has been used to perform a reprocessing of attitude and magnetic data for the following time periods, which have been extended with respect to what previously communicated (here) to cover the delta time until the deployment in operations.

Swarm A: from 12 December 2018 to 1st June 2024

Swarm B: from 17 October 2018 to 1st June 2024

Swarm C: from 18 December 2018 to 1st June 2024

Apart from the fixed bugs that had an impact on attitude and magnetic observations, the new processors contains improvements in the time computation which reflected in better accuracy in the satellites position determination and in the transformations between VFM and NEC reference frames.

Please note that from 2nd June 2024 the products are being generated with product baseline and file counter 0505 (ORBATT) and 0606 (MAGNET) as they are being generated by the nominal production chain instead of in the reprocessing environment.
