As part of a new generation of modern weather satellites, MetOp-SG A1 began its journey into space on 13 August 2025 and will collect data on the atmosphere, the world's oceans and the Earth's surface around the clock. The aim is to make weather forecasts even more reliable and to better understand climate change.
