Switched off at 08:48 UTC on 20 March 2024 to mitigate expected upcoming interferences between adjacent LEOSAR satellites. LEOSAR periodic interference are expected to last at least until the end of 2024. Updates will be provided when available. |
Cospas-14 114 (Meteor-M 2-2) |
F | F | F | Subject to a periodic power-cycle reset occurring approximately every 14 days and resulting in a loss of SARP data in memory at the time of the reset. The procedure is scheduled so as to minimize the time between the latest memory download to a LEOLUT and the power-cycle reset. |

GPS II DASS S-band (Note 1) |
301 | NO | N/A | HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO BE REMOVED FROM TRACKING SCHEDULES. (Satellite no longer being used for navigation services since 10 July 2023. Orbit information unlikely to be maintained with accuracy and frequency of the rest of the constellation. Using satellite data may result in lower accuracy solutions. No plans to bring it back to active/healthy status.) |

Notes
* Experimental payload (DASS).
- The DASS S-band constellation is not planned to be declared as operational, but its data may be used operationally.
- Not equipped with a SAR repeater, but used for the return link service.
- See https://www.gsc-europa.eu/system-service-status/sar-information for more information on the satellite navigation messages.
- Only the E1 navigation signal with dummy navigation message. Satellite orbit data are provided by GSC ground server.
