In September, two events caused the Landsat 7 satellite to suspend data acquisitions. On September 9, 2014, the satellite performed a delta-inclination (delta-i) maneuver to maintain the satellite's mean local crossing time. This maneuver required a suspension of acquisitions from 9:30 CT (14:30 UTC) to 9:00 CT (14:00 UTC) September 10, 2014 .
On Saturday, September 27, 2014, the satellite stopped acquiring data due to an onboard telemetry unit issue. Investigations into the issue determined that the primary remote telemetry command unit encountered an error, and switched to the secondary. There were no issues detected to the functionality of the satellite. Imaging was suspended from 15:20 CT (20:20 UTC) on September 27 until 16:23 CT (21:23 UTC) on September 29, 2014 when nominal acquisitions resumed.
