On DOY 070 (March 11, 2010) NOAA-15 Gyro-2 was turned off due to current spikes which could have also impacted the last operational gyro (gyro-1). As a result of the transition to a reduced gyro attitude control mode users may experience significant geolocation errors in their products.
Engineers are reporting a 2.5 degree average attitude error about the yaw axis.
