Following a management meeting with Arianespace, the launch date of the Metop-B polar-orbiting satellite has been set to 23 May 2012.
On that date, after lift-off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the Metop-B satellite will be delivered by a Soyuz 21a launcher to an 817 km high, sun-synchronous orbit.
Metop-B will join Metop-A to continue the service provided since 15 May 2007 by Europe's first polar-orbiting meteorological satellite for at least another five years.
