Meteosat Second Generation (MSG), Europe’s new generation of weather satellites, are designed to operate in geostationary orbit at 0°Longitude over the west coast of Africa. From this position the operational spacecraft in the series continuously scans the same quarter of the globe, showing the development and progression of weather systems and provide valuable data for Numerical Weather Prediction and climate monitoring.
