21 day cycle with AVISO data

[marinadmo]

Hello,

I would like to re-create 21 days of SWOT passes, I am interested to have the passes location in a certain region during the entire cycle. To do that, I plan to use the AVISO example. I would like to run: swot_simulator conf.py --first-date 20190101 --last-date 20190122

Thus I would like to extend the range definition.
I get this kind of error if I try to run swot_simulator conf.py --first-date 20190102:
IndexError: period [2019-01-02T00:00:00.000000000, 2019-01-03T00:51:26.254174000] is out of range: [2018-12-31T00:00:00, 2019-01-03T00:00:00]

How can I use other dates other than 20190101 for AVISO? Do I have to modify the AVISO plugin in order to do that or is there a simpler way?

Thanks!
