SUMMARY:ESA PRE-LAUNCH PRESS CONFERENCE FOR METEOSAT THIRD GENERATION IMAGER (MTG-I1)\, Dec 5\, 2022\, 15:30-16:15 CET (10:30-11:15 am EST)
DESCRIPTION:The European Space Agency will hold a press conference in English on December 5\, 2022 from 15:30-16:15 Central European Time (10:30-11:15 am Eastern Standard Time) to discuss the upcoming launch of the first Meteosat Third Generation Imager (MTG-I1) meteorological satellite. Press conferences in other languages (French\, German and Italian) will follow the same day. \nThe English-language press conference will be livestreamed. \nThe launch\, scheduled for 21:30 CET December 13 from Kourou\, French Guiana\, will be webcast. \nParticipants in the English-language event are: \nEnglish (Monday 5 December\, 15:30–16:15 CET)\nParticipants: \n\nSimonetta Cheli\, ESA’s Director of Earth Observation Programmes\nPhil Evans\, Director General Eumetsat\nBertrand Denis\, VP Observation and Science at Thales Alenia Space\nSimon Keogh\, Head of Space Applications and Nowcasting Research & Development Met Office\nNinja Menning\, Head of Newsroom and Media Relations\, ESA (moderator)\n\nAccording to the ESA press release: \nMeteosat Third Generation Imager-1 (MTG-I1) is the first of a new generation of satellites providing crucial insights for the early detection and prediction of fast-developing severe storms\, weather forecasting and climate monitoring. \nThe satellite will carry two completely new instruments: Europe’s first Lightning Imager and a Flexible Combined Imager. Once in orbit\, this cutting-edge satellite promises to further bolster Europe’s leadership in weather forecasting. \nMeteosat Third Generation\, one of the most complex and innovative satellite systems ever built\, will provide improved critical data for weather forecasting from geostationary orbit for the next two decades. \nBuilding on the long-standing partnership between ESA and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (Eumetsat)\, and designed and built by a consortium of 100+ European industrial partners led by Thales Alenia Space\, MTG is a prime example of Europe’s technological excellence.
