SUMMARY:(NET) Ariane 62 • MTG-I 2
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260601
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260602
UID:174029713192
DESCRIPTION:Arianespace will launch an Ariane 6 rocket on a flight designa
 ted VA2XX\, to put the MTG-I 2 meteorological satellite into geosynchronou
 s transfer orbit. The Meteosat Third Generation Imager satellite will pro
 vide weather imagery over Europe for the European weather satellite agency
 \, Eumetsat. Ariane 6 will fly in the Ariane 62 configuration\, using 2 so
 lid rocket boosters.\n-\nMTG-I 2 is the third satellite in the 3rd generat
 ion series of Meteosat. It is built on the SmallGEO (LUXOR) bus of OHB wit
 h Thales Alenia Space instruments and weighs about 3.76 tonnes. MTG (Met
 eosat Third Generation) is the follow-up system to the Meteosat MSG ser
 ies of geostationary satellites. MTG will consist of a twin configuration
  of 3-axis-stabilised satellites: the Imaging mission satellite (MTG-I) an
 d the Sounding mission satellite (MTG-S). The payload for MTG-I consists 
 of the Flexible Combined Imager (FCI)\, Lightning Imager (LI)\, Data Colle
 ction System (DCS)\, and search and rescue (GEOSAR). The FCI is expected 
 to outperform MSG Spinning and Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIR
 I) observations on cloud\, aerosol\, moisture and fire by adding new chann
 els in the solar domain and by improving temporal-\, spatial-\, and radiom
 etric resolution. For instance\, the FCI in its High Resolution Fast Image
 ry mode focusing on Europe/North Africa with a resolution down to 500 met
 ers and a repeat cycle of 2.5 minutes will produce the greatest benefits t
 o Nowcasting services. The IRS will provide breakthrough measurements on 
 the time evolution of horizontal and vertical water vapour and temperature
  structures. It is an unprecedented source of information on the dynamic a
 nd thermodynamic atmospheric fields\, an important benefit to the Nowcasti
 ng and Numerical Weather Prediction services. It will also support forecas
 ting pollution and monitoring of atmospheric minor constituents through it
 s capability to provide estimates of diurnal variations of tropospheric co
 ntributions of atmospheric trace gases like ozone and carbon monoxide. Th
 e LI mission will deliver continuously and simultaneously measurements on 
 total lightning over the full disk\, improving the quality of information 
 essential for Nowcasting services\, for instance early warning of severe w
 eather and air traffic routing and safety. The LI is therefore expected to
  contribute significantly to risk reduction measures. It will also contrib
 ute to the remote sensing of precipitation and support environmental appli
 cations related to the atmospheric chemical processes and to the climate s
 ystem.\n\nWebcast:\nhttps://www.arianespace.com/road-to-space/
