Three Meteosat Second Generation satellites in geostationary orbit deliver continuous observations of fast developing severe weather events over Europe, Africa and the Indian Ocean. The first of the Meteosat Third Generation satellites was launched in December 2022 and will undergo 12 months’ in-orbit commissioning.
