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 Full Earth Scanning and Ground Segment Maintenance.
