John, MSG has been back to normal full scans since 11.30 UTC so problem unfortunately must be at your end. There does however appear to be a problem with channel 6 although I don't take that channel

John, data has been fine here from the 11:30 repeat cycle onwards, athough channel 6 (WV_073) has been rather more off than on. Nothing from Eumetsat about this problem. [For those using the MSG

Hello, Panic over...... Operator error, looking for the files in the wrong place! DUH!! Thursday, December 11, 2003, 3:32:33 PM, you wrote: JP> Hello All, JP> I've had the RX computer off for

Hello All, I've had the RX computer off for most of this morning, upgrading a few things and I've just managed to get it back on. Loads of data going through but nothing in the log and nothing in

Agree. Our collective experience seems to be that the two-PC approach is best by far, but one will work OK, though the lower spec the less can be done with other memory-hungry programs without

I don't seem to be getting Channel 6 - WV_073 - apart from a couple of segment 1s from 0915 and 0945? Cheers, David

20:06. The signal was very strong and steady and the WEFAX image perfect. John, thanks for that confirmation. There appear to be a couple of things that need attention on the MSG-1 relay:

Anything that causes a change in the velocity vector of the spacecraft will have the effect of changing the orbit - that is how it is moved. You have to cause the opposite change at the end of the

without SEVIRI images? Yes, I read this morning's e-mail, but it is puzzling to see the image files coming in now, but apparently empty. Full images should be restored from the 16:45 repeat cycle

I trust that it is not just me that is seeing the data flow without SEVIRI images? Yes, I read this morning's e-mail, but it is puzzling to see the image files coming in now, but apparently

Guys, I did NOT say that MSG1 was 3 axis stabilized, but that it had thrusters which were capable of producing thrust in the three axes which are used for attitude control and stationkeeping. Try

If it's a spin-stabilized bird, and not 3-axis stabilised, I wonder if the simplest way to change orbital slot E - W might be to leave it spinning totally undisturbed and just change the orbital

All, I have just downloaded a direct WEFAX image from Meteosat-5 - 20:06. The signal was very strong and steady and the WEFAX image perfect. So, at the moment that chain appears OK. The Arabian sea
