Description Update: 2020-01-23T12:00:00Z

The corrected planetary ephemeris LUTs delivered by NASA VCST are operational in the following standard processing streams with starting granule times shown below

  • J1 AS 5200: 2020019
  • S-NPP AS 5110: 2020018
  • S-NPP AS 5000: 2020018

Prior mission period from 2020016 for all streams will be re-processed soon and an update will be posted in this regard. For further details please refer to LDOPE's link below.

2020-01-17T22:00:00Z: SNPP and JPSS-1 VIIRS data users, please note that the quality of all NASA Level-1 data and derived downstream products from both platforms are likely affected by an incorrect solar and lunar vector calculations since 2020-016 and forward. The VIIRS Characterization Support Team (VCST) is expected to deliver an updated planetary ephemeris look-up table that will correct this anomaly. Once that happens, we will reprocess all the affected datasets.
