Esa New Metop Second Generation Weather Satellite Returns First Data The metop second generation (metop sg) mission comprises three successive pairs of satellites to deliver data for weather forecasting and climate prediction for over 20 years. Ten state of the art instruments will improve weather forecasts and extend climate records. from measuring temperature and water vapour, to imaging fine particles, to detecting wind across the sea surface, the instruments on board metop second generation satellites will collect crucial data.
Esa Metop Sg Instrument Package The mission is developed by esa (european space agency) and eumetsat (european organisation for the exploitation of meteorological satellites), and divided into two different series, metop sg a and b, with complementary sensor payloads that will orbit in pairs. Metop sg satellites are being built in two series: a, carrying visible, infrared, and microwave imagers and sounders; and b, carrying microwave imagers and radars. Less than three weeks after its launch, the first metop second generation (metop sg a1) satellite has begun transmitting data from two of its six instruments, signaling a new stage in european weather and climate monitoring. Metop sg a1, now sealed inside the rocket fairing, is almost ready for liftoff. the satellite hosts six instruments that will provide advanced weather forecasting, monitor air pollutants, and.

Metop sg (meteorological operational second generation) is europe's second generation polar orbiting operational meteorological satellite system to replace the first generation metop satellites. in october 2014, airbus defense and space was selected to build these satellites. The package totals ten different instruments across both satellites, some of which are based on the sound heritage of the first metop series, and some of which are completely new. Schematic diagram showing the various instruments deployed on metop sg a and metop sg b satellites. metop second generation will include the following suite of instruments:. In the framework of the phase a study for metop second generation mission (metop sg), corista developed an instrument performance model for a microwave imaging radiometer (mwi) and ice cloud imaging radiometer (ici)).
