The Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) is planned to replace the current system. The emphasis is given on a three axis stabilized platform for MSG, but the current spin stabilized concept may be maintained for cost reasons. The instrument described represents the core payload element in either satellite version; the total payload is expected to consist of: a Visible/Infrared Imaging Radiometer (VIRI) and an IR Vertical Sounder (IRS). The technical concept for the VIRI, is presented. A revised set of requirements for an imager designated EVIRI (Enhanced VIRI) is summarized.
