Meteosat weather satellite, artwork C017 / 7338
Meteosat weather satellite. Computer artwork of a Meteosat weather satellite, showing the external structure (top left) and main components (right). The Meteosat satellites (named Meteosat 7, 8, 9 and 10) operate in geostationary orbit over Europe and Africa, 36, 000 km above the equator. The main components are: 1) UHF band antennas, 2) L band antenna, 3) S/L band antenna, 4)s band antenna, 5) upper struts, 6) main platform, 7) telescope, 8) telescope baffle, 9) instruments, 10) propellant tanks, 11) lower closing support

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the Meteosat weather satellite, a technological marvel that operates in geostationary orbit over Europe and Africa. The image highlights both the external structure and main components of this advanced satellite system. Against a sleek black background, the intricate details of the satellite's design are brought to life. The Meteosat satellites play a crucial role in meteorological research and climatology by providing valuable data on weather patterns and atmospheric conditions. Equipped with an array of antennas, including UHF band, L band, S/L band, and S band antennas, these satellites ensure accurate transmission of information from space to Earth. The artwork also reveals other essential elements such as upper struts, main platform, telescope with its baffle for precise astronomical observations, instruments for collecting data, propellant tanks for maneuvering in spaceflight missions, and lower closing support. With cutting-edge technology at its core, this 21st-century masterpiece represents the pinnacle of scientific achievement in meteorology. Its internal mechanisms work seamlessly together to gather vital information about our ever-changing climate. Carlos Clarivan's stunning illustration captures not only the technical brilliance but also the beauty inherent in this remarkable piece of equipment. It serves as a reminder that exploration beyond our planet is not only awe-inspiring but also critical for understanding and predicting Earth's weather systems accurately.
