Esa Meteosat Third Generation

Esa Meteosat Third Generation Building on the long standing partnership between esa and eumetsat, meteosat third generation will guarantee the continuity of data for weather forecasting from geostationary orbit for the next two decades. Building on the decades long legacy of meteosat’s first and second generation satellites, meteosat third generation (mtg) will revolutionise storm prediction, enhance weather forecasts, extend climate records, and provide a wide range of essential observations.

Esa Meteosat Third Generation Meteosat third generation (mtg) is a collaborative mission between the european space agency (esa) and the european organisation for the exploitation of meteorological satellites (eumetsat) for the continuity of weather forecasting data. Now a new generation of meteosat satellites is set to take to the skies. meteosat third generation’s fleet will be made up of a satellite constellation of two imagers and one sounder. they will deliver earth observations of unprecedented range, resolution, and frequency. Equipped with highly advanced instruments, meteosat third generation (mtg) satellites will make it possible to better forecast severe storms, extend essential climate records, improve wildfire monitoring, inform air quality hazard assessments and much more. Esa will be the development and funding agency for both the basic technologies and the first satellite of the mtg system. esa will also be the overall procurement agent for all mtg satellites.

The meteosat third generation imager satellite, set to revolutionise short term weather forecasting in europe, lifted off on an ariane 5 rocket at 21:30 cet (17:30 local time in kourou) on 13. The first images from the meteosat third generation sounder satellite have been shared at the european space conference in brussels, showing how the mission will provide data on temperature and humidity, for more accurate weather forecasting over europe and northern africa. The meteosat third generation (mtg) system is the most complex and innovative geostationary meteorological system ever built. when fully deployed, it will include two imager satellites (mtg i) and one sounder satellite (mtg s). New and next generation instruments on mtg satellites will revolutionise weather forecasting. the instruments on board the two different types of meteosat third generation satellites – imagers and sounders – will together help revolutionise the forecasting of severe weather events.
