| Abstract: | EUMETSAT has launched the first in a series of three Metop satellites in October 2006. Each satellite has a nominal 5 year life time, covering 14 years in total. Successive satellites will be launched with about 0.5 year overlap into the same sun-synchronous polar orbit, allowing inter-satellite calibration. |
