Due to informations from ESA the payload has been switched-off yesterday at 18:12:31 UTC and the attitude control is done by thruster firing. Thus the distributed ERS-2 orbit predicitions are no longer valid. Meanwhile ESA has fixed the problem and is checking the satellite. In order to resume the nominal orbit an inclination manoeuvre followed by a touch-up one is planned for tomorrow. We will keep you informed.
