Abstract
The Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) Programme is a EUMETSAT geostationary satellite mission developed by the European Space Agency (ESA). It will ensure the future continuity with, and enhancement of, operational meteorological and climate data from Geostationary Orbit as currently provided by the Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) system. The MTG satellites series is composed of 4 MTG-I and 2 MTG-S to bring to the meteorological community a continuous Imagery and Sounding capabilities with high spatial, spectral, and temporal resolution observations including geophysical parameters of the Earth based on new state-of-the-art sensors. The first satellite (MTG-I1) was launched on 13th December 2022 by an Ariane 5 rocket. It features the Flexible Combined Imager (FCI) and the Lightning Imager (LI). MTG-S series of satellites, whose first launch is planned in 2025, embarks the Infra-Red Sounder (IRS) and the Sentinel-4/ Ultra-violet/Visible/Near-Infrared (UVN) sounder instruments on geostationary orbit. This presentation will summarise the outcomes of the Cal/Val of the MTG-I1 FCI and LI Level-1 and Level-2 operational products, and will provide the status of the MTG-S1 mission.
