The documentary focused on the benefits of the EUMETSAT’s next-generation satellites, Meteosat Third Generation and Metop Second Generation, which are expected to contribute to saving lives and safeguarding economies.

The new instruments on board these innovative satellites will empower our member states by providing them with higher quality and more frequent data. The data the satellites provide will help to improve numerical weather prediction models that are central to forecasting the weather and will also further our scientific understanding of the atmosphere.
