Formed in 1986 and
comprising 17 European
member states, EUMETSAT‘s role is to establish, operate and exploit European meteorological satellite systems. Data from these systems are not only essential for precise and accurate weather forecasting: they also assist global observation and climatological programmes and directly benefit national economies by enabling marine, agricultural, aviation and other industries to plan and act more effectively.
EUMETSAT’s geostationary satellite programmes include the continuation of the current Meteosat system with a Meteosat Second Generation (MSG). The first MSG satellite was launched in August 2002, to provide continuity and improvement of the service well into the next decade. The second MSG satellite is to be launched in 2005 and the third MSG satellite at the nominal end of life of MSG-1. Preparation is under way for a fourth MSG satellite. In addition to these two geostationary systems,
an entirely new Low Earth Orbit (LEO) system is under development within the framework of the EUMETSAT Polar System (EPS) programme. EPS will provide the operational meteorological satellite service delivering earth observation data for extraction of meteorological and climate monitoring products starting from 2006.
