Metop-B successfully launched

At 18:28 CEST (22:28 Baikonur time), Metop-B was successfully launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on a Soyuz 2.1a rocket

(PresseBox) (Darmstadt, )
Metop-B's role is to ensure continuity of observations from polar orbit which are vital to Numerical Weather Prediction- the basis of modern weather forecasting - as well as climate and environmental monitoring. This service is currently provided by the first satellite in the series, Metop-A (launched 19 October 2006), which has exceeded its nominal lifetime.

Alain Ratier, EUMETSAT's Director-General, said, "Metop data significantly improve weather forecasts up to 10 days ahead. Through these forecasts, they help protect life and property, and also benefit the weather-sensitive sectors of our economy, especially energy, transportation, construction, agriculture and tourism".
