The Copernicus Sentinel-4 mission on top of the Meteosat Third Generation Sounder, MTG-S, in the cleanroom of OHB in Bremen, Germany.
Both Sentinel-4 and MTG-S are world-class Earth observation missions developed with European partners to address scientific and societal challenges, such as air pollution and extreme weather events. The Copernicus Sentinel-4 mission will monitor air quality and pollution over Europe and North Africa, while the MTG-S satellite will provide improved data for weather forecasting and storm detection.
