Europe's MTG-I1 satellite captures breathtaking first image of Earth.

Europe's new weather satellite, the Meteosat Third Generation Imager (MTG-I1), has captured its first images of Earth, showcasing remarkable detail in the clouds and other global conditions. The satellite, which launched in December 2022, is changing the perspective at which we can study European weather, according to the European Space Agency's Director of Earth Observation Programmes. The images captured by MTG-I1 will provide a deeper insight into our planet and the various conditions that affect it, helping to monitor the evolution of severe weather in high latitudes.

"New Weather Satellite Captures Stunning Images of Earth from 36,000 km Away"

The first image captured by EUMETSAT's newest satellite, Meteosat Third Generation - Imager 1 (MTG-I1), shows an extraordinary level of detail of cloud structures over Europe, Africa, and the Atlantic. The higher resolution imagery and more frequent production of images will enable forecasters to detect and predict severe weather events more rapidly and accurately. The satellite and its instruments are undergoing testing, calibration, and validation until late 2023, when the images will be produced every 10 minutes and released operationally for use in weather forecasts.
