Metop-C will be the third satellite in the EUMETSAT Polar System programme.
After years of hard work and planning, Metop-C was successfully launched from Kourou at 01:47 (CET) Wednesday!
Dr Rasmus Tonboe explains what that means.
The research vessel Polarstern is currently travelling from Germany to Cape Town and a group of German meteorology students are reporting on its progress with weekly blog posts.
We bring you some words from Women in Science and Engineering, and those pursuing their professional passion at EUMETSAT.
In previous blogs, it has been mentioned that once launched, Metop-C will fly in a “tri-star” constellation with its sibling spacecraft, Metop-A and –B.
The students following the Polarstern have provided us with one final report on what the vessel encountered on the way to its final destination: Cape Town.
The Metop-C launch campaign begins.
Observations from polar orbit benefit weather forecasting and climate monitoring on Earth.
Launching a spacecraft into orbit is something that ignites the public’s imagination.
Metop-C was launched from the European Space Port in Kourou, French Guiana, on 7 November.
Lieven Clarisse and Martin Van Damme from ULB have reported on their findings in Nature this week and they are reproduced below on our Science Blog.
