To meet more than the 20-year operational life of the mission, the full Meteosat Third Generation system comprises six satellites: four Imaging (MTG-I) satellites and two Sounding (MTG-S) satellites. This image features one MTG-I satellite (in the foreground) and one MTG-S satellite. When fully deployed, the system will include two MTG-I satellites operating in tandem – one scanning Europe and Africa every 10 minutes and the other only Europe but every 2.5 minutes – and one MTG-S satellite to provide local-area coverage over selected parts of Earth, with a repeat cycle of typically five minutes. The combination of MTG’s innovative instruments along with their increased resolution and sensitivity is set to take weather forecasting to the next level, particularly in the challenging task of early detection and prediction of rapidly evolving and potentially dangerous weather events such as severe thunderstorms. The MTG-I satellites carry a Flexible Combined Imager and a Lightning Imager. The MTG-S satellites carry an Infrared Sounder and the Copernicus Sentinel-4 instrument.

July 26, 2017 - Nipton, CA- Contracted workers clean Heliostats at the Ivanpah Solar Project, owned by NRG Energy, Bright Source Energy,Bechtel and Google. Over 300,000 software-controlled mirrors track the sun in two dimensions and reflect the sunlight to boilers that sit atop three 459 foot tall power towers. The facility employs over 65 operations and maintenance workers and over 2,600 jobs during it's 3 year construction period. This image of a worker cleaning a solar energy mirror is unusual and likely to invite the audience to discover more. Our focus groups indicated a strong desire by audiences to see new stories.
