Weekly Operations Schedule
Issued on 08/04/15 at 15:25:30
Seq Nr: 2
Planned activities for week 15/2015:
GENERIC SERVICE INFORMATION
Meteosat Straylight.
Meteosat Straylight Predictions for Winter/Spring 2015 are available
on EUMETSAT website:
http://www.eumetsat.int/website/home/Data/ServiceStatus/index.html
(See section Meteosat > Straylight Predictions (XML))
26 March 2015 09:00 - 13 April 2015 09:00
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 RSS (***** UPDATE *****)
07 April 2015 09:00 UTC - 10 April 2015 09:00 UTC
Monthly RSS interruption
Meteosat-9 Rapid Scanning Service (RSS) will be suspended for scheduled

Meteosat-9 service. The RSS meteorological product service is not
available during this timeframe.
