EUMETSAT 59d ago

Over our 40-year history, Meteosat – Europe’s geostationary weather satellite series – have been the go-to source for imagery of the entire Earth disc over Europe and Africa. One of our first responsibilities was to take ownership of Meteosat-1 and -2 from the European Space Agency on 1 January 1987. Since then 11 more Meteosat satellites have joined the family across three generations, with each generation improving the accuracy and timeliness of weather forecasts in Europe and beyond. See for yourself in these images: 1. Captured by first generation Meteosat-4 2. Captured by Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) Meteosat-10 3. Captured by Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) Meteosat-12 Look out for one more satellite, MTG-I2 joining the family later this year! #EUMETSAT40 #EarthfromSpace #WeatherSatellite
