The GPM Mission Operations have successfully executed Orbit Raise Burn #1 for the GPM Core Observatory.
 
The maneuver performance was NOMINAL. 
 
Burn #1 Start:  14:19:53 UTC 7 November
Burn #1 End:  14:29:43 UTC 7 November
Duration:  590 seconds
 
Post-maneuver orbit determination and burn reconstruction have begun.  Burn efficiency will be presented at the CAM tomorrow morning and used in the prediction for Orbit Raise Burn #2 (and final), for which the timing is:
 
Planned Burn #2 Start:  17:23:16 UTC 8 November
Planned Burn #2 End:  17:33:06 UTC 8 November
Planned Duration:  590 seconds
 
Note that DPR data will be held pending development of revised algorithms that accommodate post-boost observational parameters; initial release is anticipated in January for near-real-time use.  GMI and associated GPROF retrievals will be coming up once checks with actual data are performed.
