Artwork of a Meteosat satellite orbiting the Earth
Meteosat satellite. Artwork of a Meteosat weather satellite in orbit above the Earth. It is seen positioned in geostationary orbit above Africa and Europe. Meteosat is a series of European Space Agency (ESA) weather satellites. Cylindrical in shape, it is spin stabilised. It has a three- channel scanner behind the grey oval door; these channels record images in visible light, thermal infrared, and water vapour. A full-disc image of the Earth at each waveband is returned every 30 minutes. At the top of the satellite can be seen its antenna assembly. As well as direct monitoring of weather patterns, Meteosat can operate as a data relay transmitting weather data

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the Meteosat satellite gracefully orbiting our beautiful planet Earth. Positioned in geostationary orbit above Africa and Europe, it stands as a testament to mankind's relentless pursuit of understanding and predicting weather patterns. The cylindrical shape of the Meteosat satellite is evident, showcasing its spin stabilization mechanism. Behind the grey oval door lies a three-channel scanner that records images in visible light, thermal infrared, and water vapor. Every 30 minutes, this remarkable satellite returns full-disc images of our planet at each waveband. Atop the satellite, we can observe its antenna assembly, which plays a crucial role in transmitting valuable weather data back to Earth. The Meteosat not only monitors weather patterns directly but also serves as a reliable data relay for transmitting meteorological information. As part of the European Space Agency (ESA) fleet of weather satellites, Meteosat contributes significantly to advancing our understanding of meteorology. Its continuous monitoring capabilities enable scientists to study atmospheric phenomena with unprecedented accuracy. This awe-inspiring artwork reminds us of humanity's commitment to unraveling nature's mysteries and harnessing scientific knowledge for the betterment of society. It symbolizes both our curiosity about Earth's ever-changing climate and our determination to protect lives and property from unpredictable weather events.
