NPP VIIRS instrument experiencing data outage since Rev 72755 at Fairbanks. Update will be provided when available.
Update #1: The S-NPP VIIRS instrument experienced a data loss event on November 11, 2025 at 11:36:40z due to a single event upset within the rotating telescope assembly. Engineering was able to restore the S-NPP VIIRS instrument to an operational state on November 12 at 16:29:18z with full OP- Day/OP-Night commanding beginning at 19:43:36 daily activity schedule load. All missed S-NPP VIIRS data is unrecoverable. An update will follow after Cal/Val teams validate the data as acceptable. Data used before that validation is completed is at the user’s own risk.
This outage is no longer available upstream. It may have been replaced by an updated version.
