Launch of MTG satellite: data journey from space to solar plants
EUMETSAT has been monitoring weather and climate from space for decades. With the MTG (Meteosat Third Generation) system, it has launched one of the most innovative weather satellite systems ever built: the benefits of this investment for the users of our data are expected to be very important. In this webinar, we’ll explore the data journey from space to the end users of satellite applications in renewable energy.
The speakers will be:
Data access services - Customise Sentinel-3 products with Data Tailor
EUMETSAT takes over control of its newest weather satellite
A 36,000 kilometre-journey into orbit
Data access services - EUMETSAT Data Access Client for DC users
Launch success for MTG-I1
EUMETSAT Director-General Phil Evans said the successful launch of MTG-I1 was a critical milestone for the organisation, bringing one step closer the goal of delivering essential data from the satellite’s instruments to meteorologists.
“Let’s recognise the fundamental importance of that goal,” Evans said. “The MTG system will help meteorologists meet one of their main challenges – the timely forecasting of severe weather events – to enable citizens, civil authorities and first responders to take appropriate action.
