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.
