ESA Meteosat

Meteosat-1 was launched in November 1977. Placed in geostationary orbit at 0 degrees longitude, it provided a permanent field of
view over most of Europe, the whole of Africa, the Middle East and the eastern half of South America - in total over 100
countries. Meteosat-2 was launched in June 1981 to replace Meteosat-1.

During the eight years until 1985, ESA's initial Meteosat system fulfilled its mission to the complete satisfaction of meteorologists
and scientists working in climatology and atmospheric physics.
