| Detail: | Due to ground segment maintenance, multiple delays of up to 10 minutes (in the indicated time period) can be expected for data being sent to the GTS-RMDCN service and for data coming from the GTS-RMDCN service and relayed on EUMETCast. There is a low risk that data can be lost during the maintenance period. |

| Detail: | Starting 31/01/2023 09:39:49 S3B will start performing SRAL external calibrations over a transponder site in Leonessa. To conduct this transponder pass, the on-board Digital Elevation Model (DEM) altitude value must be temporarily updated in RAM, and is reverted immediately after the pass. A short outage immediately before and after the pass will be introduced, and data should be considered degraded as per non-nominal acquisition mode, for a total duration of approx.27 seconds over the transponder location (42.61607° N, 13.03780° E) for all relative orbits number (RON) 306 - from cycle 75 (inclusive) onwards. |
