S1B POEORB files not updating

I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but,

We’re trying to obtain your Sentinel 1b Ephemeris for July 1, 2022 from
https://scihub.copernicus.eu/gnss/#/home and it still hasn’t been updated yet the Sentinel 1a ephemeris is now at July 7 2022. Do you know when is the Sentinel 1B POEORB is getting updated?

Have you tried to ask directly scihub by sending an email to eosupport@copernicus.esa.int?
They should be able to answer it.

Marpet,

Thanks for the suggestion. This is their response, in case anybody else is curious:

Please be informed that the AUX_POEORB files are not circulated anymore from the time S1B has been put in stand-by mode. Considering the necessity to perform manoeuvres, we expected to see them.
We asked to POD and ADGS team a feedback and they referred to us that at this stage the project decided to stop the downlink of GP packets from the GPS receiver on-board the satellite at that date, which are required to compute POD products. Therefore, starting from 28th June, we no longer compute S-1B orbits.

A warning has been already raised with ESA about scientific users that may be interested on those products. For the moment, the products are no longer available. In case of any change, we will inform you.
