METECSAT AND MSI3 - STATUS
Issues resulting from NOAA- N' "mishap" were solved and amendments to the
Joint Transition Activities (JTA) Agreement were signed early 2006
EUMETSAT routinely acquires NOAA POES data using its EPS ground system
since months
Following a final review in spring 2006, the EPS system was declared
ready to support the launch on 17 July 2006
It was clearly identified, that the aborts were caused by non thoroughly
validated procedures used during the launch in handling the automatic
launcher check out system.
A plan of actions was agreed with the launcher authority to correct the
observed anomalies and to prevent the re-occurrence of the problems

JTA also foresees that necessary steps should be taken to prepare for
the signature of a Joint Polar System (JPS) Agreement at the latest 8
years after signature of JTA, i.e. in 2011.
In October 2006, Metop A will be launched and become the sole long-
term source of data in the mid-morning orbit. EUMETSAT wants to
keep this role on the long-run.
After a period focused on achieving the first tangible result of the IJPS
cooperation (Metop A launch) on our side and on reshaping the
NPOESS programme on the U.S. side, EUMETSAT believes that more
attention can now be paid to the preparation of the future.
