The first meteorological satellite was placed in orbit in 1960. The European programme began in earnest in 1977 with the launch of a geostationary satellite, Meteosat-1. This paper provides a brief history of the development of the Meteosat programme and describes the operational services which are provided including the range of meteorological products which are extracted routinely from the satellite data at the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC).
