http://msg-3launchcampaign.blogspot.com/2012/07/post-scriptum-first-images.html

We have now received the MSG-3 first image. This is an evident proof that, after the successful launch on 05/07/2012, the MSG-3 spacecraft is working very well and the LEOP and commissioning phases have been properly carried out. This is a reward for the all teams and staff that have been involved and which worked on this project for years now. Just below, for memory, we offer the readers of this blog the first image taken by MSG-1 (METEOSAT-8) and MSG-2 (METEOSAT-9) respectively obtained in 2002 and 2006.
