MSG-3 Launch Campaign: Post Scriptum
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.

MSG-3 Launch Campaign: Successful Launch!
http://msg-3launchcampaign.blogspot.com/2012/07/launch-successful.html
Few days ago on the Remire Montjoly beach, some of us saw baby turtles hatching from the eggs laid by the huge leatherback sea turtles. Last April. These three months of incubating period correspond exactly to the duration of our MSG-3 launch campaign in French Guiana. As we wait for the first news coming from our "baby", let's wish them anyhow a good trip into their respective media and, on the top of that, a fascinating life! Don't we say that turtles can live more than 100years? 1 April - 8 April.
