 Cnes - From Meteosat to MSG
Between the end of the Meteosat 2 programme and the launch of the 1st operational satellite, a short intermediary programme was put in place to avoid any interruption in the supply of weather data.
Meteosat 3 was launched to this effect on August 11, 1988 aboard the first experimental model of Ariane 4.
The MSG project (Meteosat Second Generation) was approved by ESA in 1986 to guarantee the continuity and quality of the European meteorological satellite programme.

 Meteorological Satellite Platform Document
Meteosat was developed as the European Space Agency's contribution to the Global Atmospheric Research Program (GARP) to provide global data sets used in improving weather forecasting.
Meteosats are 705 pound cylinders that are seven feet in diameter and ten feet high with solar cells on six main body panels.
The primary instrument aboard the Meteosat satellites was the five-channel visible infrared (IR) imaging radiometer.

 Weather satellite images from around the world - Meteosat
Meteosat is the European contribution to the Global Atmospheric Research programme and is a geostationary earth observation platform in orbit at 0° - above the intersection of the Greenwich Meridian and the Equator.
Europe is to the top - from this position, Meteosat is ideally placed to observe weather patterns in the Atlantic and across Europe and to assist in the forecasting of European weather.
Meteosat is operated by EUMETSAT on behalf of European meteorological agencies.

Requests for Meteosat data should be sent directly to the Meteosat Data Service, the address of which appears at the top of this document.
METEOSAT Meteosat-1 was launched on 23 November 1977 and has been operated in geostationary orbit at 0 degree longitude until 24 November 1979 when a major onboard electronic failure prevented the recording of any further images.
Images of the earth's disk as seen from Meteosat are produced in three spectral bands by means of the three channels radiometer which includes: - Two identical adjacent visible channels in the 0.5 - 0.9æm spectral band (these values are valid starting with Meteosat-4; Meteosat 1 to 3 covered the band 0.4 - 1.1æm).

 Meteosat - Europe and Earth Observation Systems
The primary Meteosat payload is a 40-cm diameter, 3-band, imaging radiometer sensitive to visible light (0.5-0.9 µm), IR (10.5-12.5 µm), and water vapor (5.7-7.1 µm).
Meteosat 4, despite some imaging difficulties encountered early in life (launched in June 1989), was serving as the Meteosat prime spacecraft since its planned replacement, Meteosat 5, was having more serious imaging problems of its own.
The decision was then made to move Meteosat 5 into the prime location at 0 degrees E in February, 1994, and place Meteosat 4 in standby at 8 degrees W. Meanwhile, Meteosat 6 was left at 10 degrees W to permit the development of corrective measures for the radiometer problem (References 494-499).

 The Meteosat Satellites
The primary objective of the Meteosat system is to provide cost-effective satellite data and related services which meet the requirements of the 17 EUMETSAT Member States.
Meteosat is composed of a main cylindrical body, on top of which a drum shaped section and two further cylinders are stacked concentrically (see figure overleaf).
The thrusters are used to maintain Meteosat's orientation in space, to make small adjustments to its orbit and to move the satellite to a new nominal location if required for operational reasons.

 Meteosat
Meteosat is equipped with power amplifiers and antennae which allow processed Earth images and other meteorological information (weather charts, and images from other meteorological satellites) to be transmitted, mainly from ESOC, via the satellite to the user reception stations.
The Meteosat Ground Facilities consist of five elements, the first three of which are located at ESOC, the fourth at Michelstadt, 40 km from ESOC in the Odenwald, and the fifth at Wallops on the east coast of the United States.
A look at the results of the Meteosat programme justifies this political choice: Aerospatiale of France, which has built all the Meteosat satellites, was able to acquire a position among the world leaders in the space sector thanks to this programme.

For almost 30 years ESA has been building Europe's orbital weather satellites: the Meteosat series of geostationary spacecraft, the first of which was launched in 1977.
The success of the early Meteosats led to the creation of the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) in 1986.
This cooperation between the two international organisations continues now the original satellites are gradually being replaced by a new, second generation of Meteosats.

 Cloud Imaging from Meteosat
The current operational satellite (1998) is Meteosat-7, which is used to generate images of the earth in up to three spectral channels, at intervals of thirty minutes day and night.
Imaging from the Meteosat series of spacecraft is performed by the Meteosat Visible and InfraRed Imager (MVIRI).
The images are generated by a classical spin-scan mechanism, where a line of pixels in the east-west direction is generated through the spinning of the satellite at 100 revolutions per minute, while successive lines are obtained by stepping the telescope one scan line further north at each revolution of the satellite.
