European Arian 6 launches satellite
The European Space Agency launched the "Ariane 6" rocket today from the Kourou Space Center in French Guiana, carrying the advanced weather and climate satellite /MTG-I2/ weighing 3,800 kilograms. This launch marks the first phase of the third-generation "Meteosat" satellite constellation, with the satellite positioned at an altitude of 36,000 kilometers. It provides high-resolution images of Europe with a refresh rate every 2.5 minutes, enhancing weather forecast accuracy and being vital for monitoring natural disasters such as floods and wildfires. This mission is the ninth for the "Ariane 6" rocket and is the first to carry a satellite into a geostationary orbit in this version.
