ES&S reception of MTSAT HRIT commissioned
 
 
11 Oct 2005
 
 

  The new MTSAT spacecraft is now broadcasting over the Asian region, and ES&S have begun installing groundstations capable of making use of the advanced features of this latest satellite.
ES&S have just commissioned a new MTSAT groundstation for Offshore Weather Services P/L, in Melbourne.
OWS are a long term client of ES&S, and have been using ES&S GMS, GVAR groundstations for several years.
The latest OWS system upgrades a previous GOES groundstation to the new MTSAT HRIT transmission. The images produced are of a superior quality, and provide more accurate navigation than the older GOES satellite. OWS uses the latest data to produce infrared and visible images for detailed meteorological analysis and forecasting in the Asian region.
