SAR (ERS) Quality Control Reports
Product Anomalies
Please be aware that SAR (ERS) products from January 2001 onwards were acquired under degraded attitude conditions following the gyroscope failure in January 2001. Following this failure, an attempt was made to pilot without the use of gyroscopes ("gyro-less piloting mode" or Extra Backup Mode (EBM) from January to June 2001).
Quality Control Products Parameter Plots
Parameters extracted from the SAR telemetry, such as replica and calibration pulses, is presented.
Cyclic Reports
The cyclic reports summarise the results of the investigations made for the ERS-2 SAR instrument.
Yaw Weekly Reports
The yaw weekly reports give information on the ERS-2 Doppler variations caused by problems with the on-board gyroscopes.
