Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) is the next generation of Meteosat satellites, the primary source of geostationary observations over Europe and Africa. Current Meteosat satellites are spin-stabilized while MTG will consist of three-axis stabilized satellites. Three in-orbit operational satellites, which might need to be collocated within the same longitude slot, are needed to provide the complete set of missions and services to end users. The MTG requirements are very demanding: high resolution imaging and sounding capabilities with challenging INR (Image Navigation and Registration), huge downlink data rates, stringent timeliness for delivery of data and products to end-users, and very high mission availability. This brings unprecedented challenges for the design of the MTG System and Ground Segment whose main challenges and features are addressed in this paper.
