Almost time for FLEX and @CopernicusEU Sentinel-3C!

After years of work across @esa and our partners, both satellites are set to begin their journey to orbit together aboard Vega-C.

Looking forward to an exciting night for Earth Observation.

FLEX and Sentinel-3C are ready for liftoff on Vega-C from Europe's Spaceport.

▶️ Tune in tonight on 15 September from 02:50 CEST.
🚀 Liftoff is scheduled for 03:21 CEST.

While the FLEX mission will monitor the health of Earth’s vegetation, Sentinel-3C, together with the two Sentinel-3 satellites already in orbit, will monitor oceans, land, ice and atmosphere for Copernicus, the Earth observation component of the European Union’s Space Programme.

Success! ✅ MTG-I2 is on its way to geostationary orbit.

After acquiring signal, the satellite has been confirmed healthy.

As the third satellite in the Meteosat Third Generation constellation, MTG-I2 will provide weather forecasters with unprecedented views of Europe and Africa, helping to improve forecasts and deliver earlier warnings of severe weather.
