De som regelbundet tittar p\u00e5 v\u00e4derprognoser p\u00e5 TV k\u00e4nner s\u00e4kert igen bilderna av Europa som tagits av en Meteosat-satellit ovanf\u00f6r ekvatorn. Mindre k\u00e4nda \u00e4r MetOp-satelliterna, som flyger fr\u00e5n pol till pol p\u00e5 betydligt l\u00e4gre h\u00f6jder. Den f\u00f6rsta i denna serie, k\u00e4nd som MetOp-A, \u00e4r nu sex \u00e5r gammal, och d\u00e4rf\u00f6r f\u00f6rbereds just nu dess efterf\u00f6ljare f\u00f6r uppskjutning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Om allt g\u00e5r enligt planerna kommer MetOp-B att skjutas upp med en Sojuz-raket fr\u00e5n Baikonur i Kazakstan den 17 september. Satelliten kommer att placeras i en 817 km h\u00f6g, solsynkron bana. Detta inneb\u00e4r att MetOp-B upprepade g\u00e5nger kommer att passera \u00f6ver samma omr\u00e5de vid samma lokala tidpunkt, s\u00e5 att solen alltid befinner sig p\u00e5 ungef\u00e4r samma h\u00f6jd \u00f6ver horisonten.<\/p>\n

MetOp-B \u00e4r den andra av tre identiska satelliter i pol\u00e4r bana. Efter att ha testats i omloppsbana kommer MetOp-B att arbeta tillsammans med MetOp-A under en tid, vilket garanterar en kontinuerlig tillf\u00f6rsel av h\u00f6gkvalitativa data f\u00f6r v\u00e4derprognoser och klimat\u00f6vervakning. MetOp-C kommer att bli den tredje och sista satelliten i serien. Den f\u00f6rv\u00e4ntas skjutas upp 2016.<\/p>\n

MetOp-satelliterna \u00e4r utrustade med 11 instrument som samlar in data om jordens v\u00e4der och klimat. De m\u00e4ter atmosf\u00e4rstemperatur, luftfuktighet, vindhastighet och ozon. De sp\u00e5rar \u00e4ven gaser som koldioxid, dikv\u00e4veoxid och metan. MetOp fullbordar sin globala t\u00e4ckning med alla sina instrument inom fem dagar.<\/p>\n

MetOp \u00e4r utrustad med fem nya europeiska instrument, d\u00e4ribland ett som s\u00e4nder ut radarimpulser f\u00f6r att m\u00e4ta vindhastigheten \u00f6ver haven. ESA leder projektet p\u00e5 uppdrag av EUMETSAT, den europeiska v\u00e4derorganisationen. Rymdfarkosterna tillverkas av en europeisk industrikonsortial ledd av Astrium.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
