Meteosat Straylight.
During eclipse seasons, stray light affects the way the spacecraft
instrument is commanded.  There are periods where the black body
calibration is performed after the instrument retrace instead
of prior to it. This delays files for the time of the calibration
(approximately three minutes) which then affects the data timeliness
in the same way.
This nominal calibration activity during eclipse seasons will therefore
cause periods of noticeable delays to reception of data by Users.
