After 117 days of storage, MSG-2 has been unwrapped and the decontamination samples removed. The activities have re-started for the MSG-2 Launch Campaign to prepare the satellite for launch on 21 December 2005.
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.
