Weekly Operations Schedule
Issued on 20/02/14 at 14:57:43
Seq Nr: 1
Planned activities for week 09/2014:
GENERIC SERVICE INFORMATION
The EUMETCast Europe service will be upgraded from DVB-S to the DVB-S2
standard in August 2014.
For detailed information, please
see:http://www.eumetsat.int/website/home/TechnicalBulletins/EUMETCast/DAT_2082113.html
24 February 2014 08:30 - 09:00 UTC
During this period there is a risk of short interruption to the
EUMETCast-Americas service due to maintenance work at the uplink
station.
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 season will
therefore cause periods of noticeable delays to reception of data
by Users.
Meteosat Straylight Predictions for Winter/Spring 2014 are available
on EUMETSAT Website:
