Data from the Arctic Weather Satellite are already being assimilated into forecasting systems in EUMETSAT member states.
EUMETSAT will procure launch services and distribute resulting data products through established channels.
EUMETSAT will develop and operate the ground segment for the EPS Sterna programme.
EUMETSAT and its partners will move into full implementation phase after securing Council approval.
The EPS-Sterna program secured near unanimous support during the 110th session of the Eumetsat Council, with 29 of Eumetsat’s 30 member states backing the program.
Eumetsat is a meteorological organization comprising 30 nations.
Eumetsat committed $1 billion to the EPS-Sterna constellation.
Ariane 6 completed four successful flights in 2025, carrying payloads for CNES, EUMETSAT, and the European Space Agency.
The Copernicus Sentinel-6/Jason-CS mission was jointly developed by NASA, ESA, EUMETSAT, and NOAA.
In October 2025, the European weather agency EUMETSAT renewed a radio occultation data contract with Spire worth about 3 million euros over two years.
The renewed EUMETSAT contract provides data supporting global and regional weather models used by European meteorological services.
Spire's weather data informs agencies such as NOAA, NASA, and EUMETSAT for global weather prediction and Earth system analysis.
EUMETSAT will acquire control of Copernicus Sentinel-6B from ESA once it reaches its operational orbit.
Copernicus Sentinel-6B will contribute to monitoring river discharge, flooding, and drought conditions alongside existing and future Metop satellites from EUMETSAT.
EUMETSAT will operate the full Sentinel-6 system through its commissioning phase, calibrating and validating all data before releasing it to Copernicus Marine Service users internationally.
Copernicus Sentinel-6B is operated by EUMETSAT for the European Commission's Copernicus Programme.
The Sentinel-6/Jason-CS mission is a collaboration between NASA, ESA, EUMETSAT, and NOAA.
The current portfolio in development at ESA is organized into three verticals: scientific missions, meteorological missions in partnership with Eumetsat, and the central pillar of the Copernicus program led by the European Union.
The mission underscores the collaboration between ESA, NASA, NOAA, and Eumetsat, highlighting the integration of the space economy with global sustainability strategies.
Sentinel-6 is noted as a significant example of successful cooperation among Eumetsat, the European Union, NASA, NOAA, and CNES, continuing a legacy of sea level measurement missions that began in the early 1990s.
