First RGB image from MSG-3 Seviri


Recommended Posts

Operational service should take place after the 6 month commissioning process. MSG-3 has been in early-orbit phase since the 5th and will be handed over to EUMETSAT tomorrow. It's the 3rd unit in the 4 unit constellation of European weather satellites and roughly matches the operational spec of current generation GOES orbiters: full disc scanning in 12 wavelengths every 15 minutes, search & rescue transponders, solar irradiance sensors, etc... GOES-R will far exceed these capabilities, btw. Yes, I am a total homer...

Here's the pic:
