MTG-S1 and Copernicus Sentinel-4 launch highlights
Two meteorological missions – Meteosat Third Generation Sounder-1 (MTG-S1) and the Copernicus Sentinel-4 mission – have launched on board a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral in Florida, US.
Both are world-class Earth observation missions developed with European partners to address scientific and societal challenges.
The MTG-S1 satellite will generate a completely new type of data product, especially suited to nowcasting severe weather events, with three-dimensional views of the atmosphere. It is the second in the MTG constellation to be prepared for orbit and is equipped with the first European operational Infrared Sounder instrument.
Copernicus Sentinel-4 will be the first mission to monitor European air quality from geostationary orbit, providing hourly information that will transform how we predict air pollution across Europe, using its ultraviolet, visible, near-infrared light (UVN) spectrometer.

Next step: make sure we don't have to use american launchers anymore.
Giant!👍💯
I heard the Satellite screamed as it was ejected. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ
Misleading title!
I thought Marjorie Taylor Greene had been shot to the moon!
Unfortunately, that's wrong. 😥

Hello ESA, I actually have a couple of questions.
What are future plans for the Ariane rocket? I read something that there are plans to also get the rocket to land and to reuse it, similarily to spaceX?
Another question would be, why we aren't developing our own manned capsule that can be launched with the Ariane? I think in terms of cooperation, it would be a great asset to have another reliable manned ship, next to the Soyuz and Dragon capsule.
