🚀 Meteosat Third Generation’s (MTG) second imaging satellite successfully reached the European spaceport in French Guiana during the weekend. The satellite is getting ready for a launch, operated by ARIANESPACE, scheduled for this summer!   The milestone will mark the final cornerstone to formally initiate the MTG mission among a family including six satellites (4 imagers and 2 sounders), the #MTG program aims to revolutionize modern meteorology with enhanced forecast accuracy. While MTG-I1 delivers images of the entire globe every 10 minutes, MTG-I2 will provide eagerly awaited refreshed images over Europe every 2.5 minutes.   Once the fleet reaches three satellites in orbit (MTG-I1, MTG-S1, and MTG-I2), Europe will benefit from the world’s most advanced weather forecasting services. 🌍 Stay tuned for upcoming program milestones! #meteorology #EarthObservation #spaceforlife European Space Agency - ESA EUMETSAT ARIANESPACE Thales Leonardo Giampiero Di Paolo Bertrand Denis YVAN BAILLION Olivier Brize
