European operational satellite agency for monitoring weather, #climate and the environment from #space 🛰️
Europe’s 1st geostationary sounder satellite has launched! 🚀#MTGS1 will transform weather forecasting & early warnings. The satellite also carries the Sentinel-4 mission & will provide data that can be used to protect communities & strengthen resilience: bit.ly/4l9c5jR
With Metop-SG-A1 now fuelled, preparations are ramping up for launch! Tune in on Monday, 28 July at esawebtv.esa.int to watch the live pre-launch media briefing, featuring experts from the Metop mission and @CopernicusEU’s Sentinel-5A — flying as an instrument aboard the…
WHAT...A...LAUNCH! 🚀 We're thrilled at yesterday's successful MTG-S1 & Sentinel-4 launch, congrats to all teams & partners involved 👏 MTG-S1 will deliver vital atmospheric data for earlier, more accurate warnings - helping protect lives & infrastructure. 📷 Images by SpaceX
Our 3rd satellite scheduled for launch this year is on the move! Sentinel-6B left Munich on 14 Jul and is sailing to Galveston, Texas. ⛴️ After Sentinel-4 & soon Sentinel-5, we're gearing up for Sentinel-6B later this year. More on our Copernicus role at: bit.ly/4mti9UL
@EUMETSAT has officially taken command of the Meteosat Third Generation Sounder 1 (#MTGS1) – Europe’s first-ever geostationary sounder satellite. eumetsat.int/eumetsat-takes…
It took about two weeks for MTG-S1 and @CopernicusEU Sentinel-4 to reach geostationary orbit: now that they are there, at 36 000 km away from Earth, the two missions are ready for the delicate commissioning phase. Teams on Earth will begin activating the instruments, paving the…
The first story about the @eumetsat @esa #MTGs1 launch turned out to be more about the artificial intelligence in weather forecasting & how satellites can help with it. Kudos also to @ECMWF for interesting discussions! tekniikanmaailma.fi/lehti/15a-2025…
On 1st July, @eumetsat launched the Meteosat Third Generation sounding satellite (MTG-S1), a new weather satellite 🛰️ 🎞️ Dr Noel Fitzpatrick explains what this means for meteorological organisations in Europe and here in Ireland. #MTGS1 #weather #satellite
🌊🛰️ Mercator Ocean & @eumetsat sign a new long-term partnership to boost ocean forecasting, climate services & sustainable resource management using satellite data & digital ocean systems. The agreement was initially discussed on 9 June at #UNOC3. 🔗 mercator-ocean.eu/mercator-ocean…
🌍A new era for #EarthObservation! MTG-S1 with Sentinel-4 launched aboard Falcon 9, boosting the ability to monitor air quality & detect storms across Europe.🚀 Our team members represented @ESA_EO at the @eumetsat launch event on Tuesday! 🎥 #ESA #Climate #Space #weather
Today we returned to @eumetsat for a “behind the scenes” tour of the Mission Control and Data Management Centres.
🛰️ MTG-S1 ya vigila la atmósfera desde el espacio. GMV impulsa la misión con su tecnología de control y procesamiento de datos. 🔗 ow.ly/LTtC50WkhsU #GMVnews #TecnologíaEspacial #ObservaciónDeLaTierra @esa @eumetsat
🛰️ Lancement réussi pour le satellite MTG-S1 ! Ses données serviront à suivre et affiner les prévisions de situations #météo à évolution rapide comme : les pluies intenses en Méditerranée les perturbations venant de l'Atlantique les signes précurseurs d'un orage 📽️ @eumetsat
🚀A night to remember! 🌠 Last night, several of our team members joined @ESA_EO at @eumetsat HQ for the MTG-S1 & Sentinel-4 launch. At 23:04 CEST, MTG-S1 blasted off, set to improve weather forecasting & air quality monitoring! 🌍🌫️ #EarthObservation #ESA #space #weather
Satellite sees satellite!😯 The @NOAASatellites GOES-18 satellite saw @eumetsat's MTG-S1 satellite as it blasted off from Florida last night. See that little bright dot in the middle of the image? That's the @SpaceX rocket!
Falcon 9 launches the @Eumetsat MTG-S1 mission to orbit from Florida
Ever wonder what's in the air you breathe? 🌬️ Our new Airbus-built Sentinel-4 🛰️ just launched, will monitor air quality across Europe! Positioned in geostationary orbit 36,000 kilometres above the Earth, Sentinel-4 will measure nitrogen dioxide, ozone, sulphur dioxide, and…
And there they go! 🛰️ MTG-S1 and @CopernicusEU Sentinel-4 have separated from @SpaceX’s Falcon 9 and are now flying solo. We have also received acquisition of signal📡
