Meteosat-10 is in the same series of Meteosat-9, both having the same instrument specifications. For U.S. users of DOMSAT, at 0945 UTC, Meteosat-10 HRIT data will be broadcast in place of Meteosat-9 HRIT data. _However, users should expect up to three hours of HRIT data loss following the transition time, 0945 UTC._ A loss of HRIT data would cause a delay in receiving imagery and derived products from Meteosat-10 as listed above in "Products or Data Impacted." For direct read-out users of LRIT data, dissemination will be stopped on Meteosat-9 on at 0940 UTC and will be transferred to Meteosat-10 at 0946 UTC. There is also a potential HRIT data loss of up to three hours following the transition time. Due to the co-location of Meteosat-9 and Meteosat-10, direct read-out users should not have to re-point their antenna. If you observe a prolonged Meteosat-10 data loss period (exceeding three hours) or degradation following the start of data dissemination, please contact the NESDIS/ESPC Help Desk at 301-817-3880. *Contact Information for Further Information: **ESPC Operations at ESPCOperations@noaa.gov and 301-817-3880* This message was sent by ESPC.Notification@noaa.gov.
