MSG-3 to continue weather-monitoring service
Background information on the transmission:
MSG 3, the third Meteoasat Second Generation satellite is being prepared for its launch by Ariane 5 currently scheduled next June.
International partners are looking ahead to the newest member in a series of weather satellites that deliver images to European forecasters.
MSG satellites are designed to improve weather prediction.
The first in the series was launched in 2002, MSG-2 followed three years later. Both have been successful in continuing the legacy of the operational meteorological satellites that started with Meteosat-1 in 1977.
The series returns highly detailed imagery of Europe, the North Atlantic and Africa every 15 minutes for use by meteorologists and national weather forecasters.
