As expected, the MSG-4 first image (full disc) generated by the SEVIRI instrument was delivered by EUMETSAT on 04/08/2015 @10:00 UTC (12:00 Darmstadt time).
This is the evidence that MSG-4 (called MET-11 in its operational life) is in good health. With no big surprise one can notice that the sky over Noordwijk is covered with clouds while sun is shinning in Cannes :-). On the left side of the picture, one can also see the overcast French Guiana coast from where the MSG-4 journey started three weeks ago...
After the commissioning phase and few months of storage in-orbit, MSG-4/MET-11 will become fully operational. To follow MSG saga, refer to the EUMETSAT website.
