The MetOp-SGA1 satellite will provide earlier warnings for deadly heatwaves, storms and other disasters across Europe as part of a US-led global weather tracking system.
The four-tonne satellite reached its 800 kilometre high polar orbit equipped with instruments twice as precise as existing weather monitoring technology.
“Extreme weather has cost Europe hundreds of billions euros and tens of thousands of lives over the past 40 years,“ said EUMETSAT director-general Phil Evans.
This marked the third successful launch for Ariane 6 since its debut flight last year, with 32 more missions planned from the Kourou spaceport in coming years.
“The launch of Metop-SGA1 is a major step forward in giving national weather services sharper tools to save lives and protect property,“ Evans added. – AFP
