| Detail: | HRPT switching zone drift. Risk of interruption. The Metop-A satellite is currently in drifting orbit. As a consequence the geographical zones, defined to control the switching times of the satellite HRPT system, are drifting westwards at a rate of 0.02 degree per day. Users near the borders of switching zones might experience small changes in their acquisition times of the HRPT signal. On-board timings will be updated approximately every 8 months to compensate for the drift geolocation. A dedicated announcement will be issued in advance of each of these updates. |

| Detail: | Sentinel-3 OLCI Level-1 Full Resolution Near Real Time data will be removed from EUMETCast Satellite on 29 July 2021. Alternative services to access these data are available. For full details, see the URL provided below. [Rev. 2]: URL updated, following the launch of the new EUMETSAT website on 16 November 2020. [Rev. 3]: The removal of Sentinel-3 OLCI Level-1 Full Resolution Near Real Time data from EUMETCast Satellite, initially planned for 29 July 2021, is being deferred to a later date (likely to be during the last quarter of 2021). This is to allow more time for users to transition to alternative access services. |

| Detail: | Due to a NOAA PDA OPS maintenance at NSOF, NOAA will failover all SNPP/NOAA-20 data and products to NOAA’s Consolidated Backup (CBU). There is a risk of gaps/delays to SNPP/NOAA-20 data and products around the start and end times of this activity while the failover takes place. Apart from this, the activity is expected to be transparent to users. For more details please refer to the URL below from NOAA: [Rev. 2] End date/time updated. |

| Detail: | In this period a NOAA PDA OPS maintenance at NSOF will take place. Delivery of all data and products from PDA OPS will cease during this period. Therefore, all data and products EUMETSAT retrieves from NOAA PDA will be missing in this period, apart from SNPP/NOAA-20 data and products. SNPP/NOAA-20 data and products will be made available by NOAA at the Consolidated Backup (CBU), so are expected to be available in this period.
