 In case you're one of those people using [[https://github.com/apollo-ng/xfce-planet|xfce-planet]] or otherwise depend on our [[https://github.com/apollo-ng/cloudmap|global cloudmap service]] (introduced [[mission:log:2014:06:17:new-fresh-global-cloudmap-distribution-service-xplanet|here]]), you'll probably already have noticed that the image wasn't updated for 6 days now. The service itself is running on our side, but it seems as if MTSAT (covering 145E) doesn't send any more images since 2015-12-04. We'll try to get some more information about the outage to provide fresh, free and silky-smooth cloudmaps for everyone again. Sorry for any inconvenience, but we don't manage those birds, unfortunately... In case you're one of those people using [[https://github.com/apollo-ng/xfce-planet|xfce-planet]] or otherwise depend on our [[https://github.com/apollo-ng/cloudmap|global cloudmap service]] (introduced [[mission:log:2014:06:17:new-fresh-global-cloudmap-distribution-service-xplanet|here]]), you'll probably already have noticed that the image wasn't updated for 6 days now.
