The MetOp-A satellite, developed by a consortium of European companies led bythe main contractor EADS-Astrium, France, builds on the heritage gained from asuccessful series of European satellites, including the French Space Agency's(CNES) SPOT and ESA'S ERS and Envisat.The satellite consists of a Solar Array and two modules: the Payload Module(PLM) and the Service Module (SVM). The PLM accommodates the whole suite ofinstruments and associated support equipment. It includes advanced versions ofthe widely used scatterometer and ozone-monitoring instruments already flyingonboard the ERS-2 satellite. The SVM, which interfaces with the launcher,provides the main satellite support functions, such as command and control,communications with the ground, power and orbit control and propulsion. MetOp-A carries a set of 'heritage' instruments, provided by the United StatesNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the French SpaceAgency (CNES), and a new generation of European instruments offering precisesensing capabilities to both meteorologists and climatologists.http://www.esa.int/esaLP/LPmetop.html[Summary from the ESA MetOp Meteorological Missions home page]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: METOP-A Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: METOP Short_Name: METOP-A Long_Name: Meteorological Operational Satellite - A End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: SARR Short_Name: SEM-2 Short_Name: A-DCS Short_Name: AVHRR-3 Short_Name: HIRS/4 Short_Name: AMSU-B Short_Name: AMSU-A Short_Name: GOME-2 Short_Name: ASCAT Short_Name: GRAS Short_Name: MHS Short_Name: IASI End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Online_Resource: http://www.esa.int/esaLP/LPmetop.html Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 2006-10-19 Launch_Site: Baikonur Cosmodrome, Tyuratam, Russia Primary_Sponsor: ESA End_GroupEnd_Group
