JSOC Repairs are Complete, Normal Data Services have Resumed

At 12 noon PT, 4 Feb 2025, the HMI/AIA JSOC at Stanford has resumed normal data services. A small fraction of the data files were lost and are being restored from a tape backup.

Congratulations to the Stanford Team for their rapid repair of the JSOC!

JSOC Update and Schedule of Events

The JSOC repair continues. This week we have started serving 15 min cadence images from AIA and HMI for Space Weather operators and others at the SDO website https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov. Stanford continues to rebuild the full capability of the JSOC. Several pieces of electronics are delayed by the dreaded supply-chain issues we all thought were finally behind us. All of the science data will be available for available once the JSOC is restored.

The JSOC may be off-line, but SDO continues making observations and collecting data about our Sun during the maximum of Solar Cycle 25.
