The presentation starts with a short description of the METEOSAT Programme, the first programme of ESA in the field of Earth Observation. The METEOSAT satellites are positioned at geostationary orbits and image the earth's surface and its cloud cover simultaneously in the visible, infrared and water vapour absorption bands. These satellites have also their own data relay and dissemination system to serve simple ground stations.
