From end of May1998 Meteosat-5 has been
located at 63°E where it supported INDOEX
until the end of 1999 and will continue as
IODC until at least the end of 2005

Rapid Scanning Service (RSS)
• Resulting from a request to support
the Mesoscale Alpine Project (MAP) in
September 1999 the backup spacecraft
Meteosat-6 was configured to conduct a
series of rapid scan operations
•Initially the rapid scan area covered the
Alpine region at 5 minute intervals
⇒ In 2000 the scanned area was increased
significantly and the repeat cycle fixed to 10 minute
intervals. From mid 2001 the Rapid Scanning
Service became operational
