| The full Meteosat Third Generation system comprises six satellites: four Imaging (MTG-I) satellites and two Sounding (MTG-S) satellites. When fully deployed, the system will include two MTG-I satellites operating in tandem – one scanning Europe and Africa every 10 minutes and the other only Europe but every 2.5 minutes – and one MTG-S satellite to provide fast local-area coverage over selected parts of Earth. The image shows the three satellites with the two MTG-I satellites (foreground and left) and one MTG-S satellite (on the right). Image: ESA. |
