Satellite signatures of the EUMETSAT MTG-S1 launch
The EUMETSAT MTG-S1 satellite was launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida at 2104 UTC on 01 July 2025 — using a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The thermal signature of the Falcon 9 Stage 1 rocket booster and the Stage 2 rocket were apparent in 1-minute Mesoscale Domain Sector Rocket Plume RGB images (created using Geo2Grid) from GOES-19 (GOES-East) (above) and GOES-18 (GOES-West) (below). More hyperspectral sounder satellite details are available in this blog post.__________
