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.
Meteosat Straylight Predictions for Autumn/Winter 2013	are available

METEOSAT 0 DEG	SERVICE
18 September 2013
Essential ground segment maintenance:
  - For the Atmospheric Motion Vector (AMV) product from Meteosat-10,
  the inversion height assignment for the WV channel AMVs will be
  disabled.
Due to this maintenance, there will be an outage of the Meteosat-10
meteorological product generation from 08:15 UTC to 09:15 UTC,
followed by a high risk period of two hours.

invalid between 18:57 & 19:50 UTC (approx). Therefore, there is a
risk of interruption of EARS Svalbard products (Metop-A ATOVS, AVHRR,
IASI and ASCAT) from the Fast Dump Extract System (FDES).
