<p>OHB SE has announced the first scientific results from the Meteosat Third Generation-Sounder (MTG-S1) weather satellite, developed by OHB System AG for the European Space Agency (ESA). The results, which were presented at the European Space Conference, showcase the satellite’s advanced infrared sounding instrument that provides three-dimensional profiles of atmospheric temperature and humidity from a geostationary orbit 36,000 kilometers above Earth. The newly released images and animations, available from EUMETSAT and ESA, demonstrate the instrument’s ability to precisely detect temperature contrasts and moisture distribution, offering detailed insights into atmospheric processes. This breakthrough enables earlier detection of unstable weather conditions before cloud formation, representing a major advance for short-term forecasting and extreme weather prediction. The data marks the successful transition of MTG-S1 into its operational testing phase, inaugurating a new era for European weather and climate monitoring.
