The
new MTSAT satellite owned by Japan Meteorological Association (JMA)
has begun test transmissions. This new satellite will replace the older
GMS5 satellite, and provide vital geostationary satellite coverage of
the entire Asian region.
The ES&S MTSAT
groundstation is being used to receive the new test transmission,
and process the data to produce images in infrared and visible channels.
The images below are some of the first received in Australia. |
