The Meteosat series of satellites are geostationary meteorological satellites operated by EUMETSAT under the Meteosat Transition Programme (MTP). The program was established to ensure the operational continuity between the end of the successful Meteosat Operational Programme in 1995 and Meteosat Second Generation (MSG), which came into operation at the start of 2004 using improved satellites. The MTP provides an overlap with MSG by continuing the current Meteosat system until at least the end of the year 2005.
Ariane (rocket)
Ariane is a series of a European civilian expendable launch vehicles for space launch use. The name comes from the French spelling of the mythological character Ariadne; the word is also used as the name of a type of hummingbird. France first proposed the Ariane project in early 1973 and it was officially agreed upon at the end of 1973 after delicate discussions between France, Germany and the UK. The project was Western Europe´s second attempt to develop its own launcher following the unsuccessful Europa project. The Ariane project was code-named L3S (the French acronym for third-generation substitution launcher). The European Space Agency (ESA) has oversight of the development of all Ariane launchers and of the testing facilities; while Arianespace, a commercial entity created in 1980, handles production, operations and marketing.
