The phase of R & D program has been approved by governments in 2008, but political divisions have delayed start.Thales Alenia Space (France) and OHB System (Germany) have said they can do the job.

The agreement to begin detailed design of the spacecraft was signed by the companies and the European Space Agency (ESA), which controls the technical aspects of the program.

EUMETSAT, the international organization whose mission is to provide Meteosats, work platforms when in orbit, for the year 2018.

The initial contract covers the work of approximately six months during which the consortium will establish a full team, including all contractors.A full contracted with ESA will be parked in the middle of next year.

Meteosat Third Generation (MTG), as is known, two types of spacecraft: satellite photo images of weather systems, and the sound of the spacecraft (which can retrieve data from the different layers of the atmosphere).

Four imaging satellites and two survey satellites will be built. Their launch will be phased to maintain coverage through around the 2040th's new spacecraft will be very different from their predecessors.

The second-generation satellites (MSG), for example, is stabilized by rotation and build their images as they rotate around the visual field. The spacecraft will look more like MTG platforms telecommunications standard. They sit and watch the ground.

Their image data will have a much higher resolution (to capture details as small as 500) and get off at a fraction of the time - as little as 2.5 minutes. Meteosat series dating back to 1977.

Currently, two platforms - Meteosat-8 and Meteosat-9 - allow data to daily weather forecasts for Europe depends to come. The total cost of MTG will probably be around 3.4 billion euros, with some 2.4 billion expected by EUMETSAT Member States and the rest of the member states of ESA.

EUMETSAT will hold a board at the end of the month during which he will seek to approve the program. At last count 25 members of EUMETSAT has 17 indicated that they wish to approve, representing over 75% of the budget of the organization to put in MTG.

TAS said the consortium would be the first imaging satellite MTG ready to launch by the end of 2017 and the first probe will be completed in the spring of 2019.The production of other spacecraft to go to the store reaches 2018-2021 All imaging systems are integrated with local TAS in Cannes, France, sirens should be integrated into the premises of OHB in Bremen, Germany.
