The Meteosat objectives have guaranteed the constant flow of data for weather condition forecasting since 1977, and later on this year, we will quickly start a new era in weather condition and environment tracking with Meteosat Third Generation (MTG).
The third generation will not just ensure the continuity of data for weather forecasting, however provide considerable improvement of the present imager abilities, an all-new infrared sounding ability, and real-time lightning imaging for early detection of serious storms as they develop.
For the general MTG mission two types of satellite are being established; the Imaging satellite (MTG-I) and the Sounding Satellite (MTG-S). MTG-I1 is currently at Thales Alenia Spaces centers in Cannes, France, undergoing a comprehensive testing project to ensure that the satellite will make it through the rigors of the launch and the hostile environment of area.
MTG is a cooperation between ESA and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (Eumetsat). ESA is accountable for the meaning and implementation of the MTG satellites and procurement of reoccurring hardware, while Eumetsat supervises of operating the spacecraft throughout its life time as well as information retrieval, processing, and circulation.

This incredible image of Earth was caught by the Meteosat Second Generation series of objectives on March 23, 2022. Satellites provide vital information for daily applications, improving agricultural practices, to assist when catastrophes strike, and thanks to the Meteosat series, provide important data for weather forecasting. This week, this stunning view of Earth is brought to you by the Meteosat Second Generation series of missions.

Every year on April 22, people all over the world come together to raise awareness about the decreasing quality of the environment, the unmistakable impacts of environment modification, and the important significance of conserving our planet for future generations. At ESA (European Space Agency), we commemorate Earth Day every day. This week, this magnificent view of Earth is given you by the Meteosat Second Generation series of objectives.
Thanks to satellites in orbit, we can comprehend the complexities of the Earth system and answer important concerns on how natural procedures are altering due to the daily pressure of human activity. Satellites supply crucial information for everyday applications, boosting agricultural practices, assisting in disaster relief, and thanks to the Meteosat series, offer vital data for weather forecasting.
Considered that severe weather condition and extreme storms posture considerable and increasing dangers to society, the Meteosat satellites offer in-depth, complete disc imagery over Europe and Africa every 15 minutes and quick scan images over Europe every 5 minutes.
This images is crucial for nowcasting, which has to do with finding quickly high impact weather condition and predicting its evolution a few hours ahead, in support of the security of life and residential or commercial property. These observations are likewise used for weather forecasting and climate monitoring.
