Esa Metop Launch Europe’s first metop second generation, metop sg a1, weather satellite – which hosts copernicus sentinel 5 as part of its instrument package – is set for liftoff on an ariane 6 rocket from europe’s spaceport in kourou, french guiana, on 13 august 2025 at 02:37 cest (12 august 21:37 kourou time). Scheduled to launch in august 2025, the metop second generation a1 satellite (metop sga1) will be a major boost for satellite monitoring of weather, climate and atmospheric composition in europe, and beyond.
Esa Metop Launch Animation Lifting off on 13 august at 10:37 aest, the ariane 6 rocket carried the four tonne satellite into orbit around earth. confirmation that metop sg a1 was alive and well, after its solar array had been deployed, ensuring that the satellite could generate power. Excitement is in the air as the esa metop sg team proudly announces a major milestone —after years of meticulous development and rigorous testing, metop sg a1 is officially on its way to europe’s spaceport in kourou, french guiana!. With this second commercial flight, ariane 6, the new european heavy lift launcher operated by arianespace, successfully placed metop sga1 into sun synchronous orbit (sso) at an altitude of 800 km. spacecraft separation occurred 1 hour and 4 minutes after lift off. • august 13, 2025: metop sg a 1—the first satellite in the second generation metop series developed by eumetsat and esa—was successfully launched from europe’s spaceport in kourou aboard an ariane 6.2 rocket.
