Detail: | Deployment of MPEF (Meteorological Product Extraction Facility) Release 2.7 for the Meteosat RSS and IODC services. This release mainly includes bug fixes. The most significant change is a shift of one pixel in the emissivity maps. These static maps are used by the Scenes Analysis algorithm and impact, indirectly, all other products. The one pixel shift leads to very small changes in the other products, which are negligible in most cases. There will be a 1-hour interruption in product generation during the indicated time period, with a small risk of a longer interruption. [Rev. 2]: Date changed from 2018/10/24 to 2018/11/07.

Subject: | yearly-RSS-interruption
Impact: | data-unavailable
Detail: | Yearly interruption. Meteosat-10 Rapid Scanning Service (RSS) will be suspended for scheduled Full Earth Scanning and Ground Segment Maintenance. Meteosat-9 RSS image data, rectified to 9.5 deg E, replaces the Meteosat-10 service. The RSS meteorological product service is not available during this timeframe. An outage of 5 minutes can be expected when switching to and from Meteosat-9. Note: During this one-month period, Meteosat-9 will be the back-up spacecraft for Meteosat-11 0-degree service. So in the event of a Meteosat-11 anomaly, Meteosat-9 RSS gap-filling mission will stop and no RSS data will be available.
