3 Verdrag tot oprichting van een Europese Organisatie voor de exploitatie van meteorologische satellieten "EUMETSAT"

Meteosat Operational Programme

3.1 Space segment

The detailed performance specification for the spacecraft will be decided by the Council but will not be inferior to the specification for the preoperational METEOSATs except that the facility for "interrogating" data collection platforms through a dedicated down-link will be omitted.

The following improvements are foreseen:

- Improved lifetime as regards electric power and propellant.

- Improved reliability of radiometer and electronics.

- Water vapour channel to be brought to the same standard of design and manufacture as the other two channels; noise (interference) to be reduced.

- Simultaneous operation of the infra-red window channel, the watervapour channel and both visible channels.

- "In flight" calibration of the water vapour channel.

- Temperature control of calibrating black body.

- Modification of transponder to allow for distribution of digital data to earth stations in addition to preoperational METEOSAT functions.

3.2 Ground segment

The technical performance for the functions listed in 2.2. shall at least be that of the preoperational system. The system will however, be updated with the aim of improving reliability and reducing operating costs.
