Europe's Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) programme comprises two types of satellite: the Imaging satellite (MTG-I) and the Sounding Satellite (MTG-S). MTG-I boasts two new highly-sensitive instruments – a Flexible Combined Imager and a Lightning Imager .
This third generation of weather satellites will not only guarantee the continuity of data for weather forecasting from geostationary orbit for the next two decades, but will also take weather forecasting to the next level.
