GMV has been awarded a contract by EUMETSAT for the provision of Operational Optical Data Services to support flight dynamics operations of the Meteosat (MSG and MTG) satellite fleet in geostationary orbit.
GMV was awarded a contract by EUMETSAT to provide Operational Optical Data Services to support flight dynamics operations of the Meteosat (MSG and MTG) satellite fleet in geostationary orbit.
Subject to a follow-up decision, the AWS constellation would be implemented with EUMETSAT according to the cooperation model established with Meteosat and MetOp satellites.
Europe’s Meteosat geostationary satellites are positioned 36,0 m above the equator.
Europe’s Meteosat geostationary satellites return images every 15 minutes over the full Earth and every five minutes over Europe.
Eumetsat signed a contract with Arianespace in 2015 to launch two or three Meteosat Third Generation satellites on Ariane 5 rockets between 2019 and 2023.
Thales Alenia Space is the prime contractor on an amended 2010 contract with the European Space Agency and Eumetsat for six Meteosat Third Generation geostationary satellites.
The Meteosat Third Generation geostationary satellites are scheduled to start launching in 2021.
Meteosat 8 was relocated to 41.5 degrees East to optimize coverage from 0 to 82 degrees East using a combination of two Meteosat and two Insat 3D satellites with overlap for cross calibration.
