EUI Instrument
Caveat
An error has been detected in the SPICE kernels that is affecting certain keywords of the EUI FITs data. While the data themselves are all fine, two keywords contain wrong values: HEE{XYZ}_OBS and GSE{XYZ}_OBS. The error came from referencing one of the frames to the equator rather than the ecliptic plane, and therefore the orientation of the ecliptic plane is wrong.
If you do not use those keywords, you can ignore this caveat.
A new version of all the EUI data up to now will be produced soon. You can expect V02 data for all existing affected products.
