  skos:definition """The Meteosat Operational Programme (MOP-3) satellite, launched on
November 20, 1993, was the third operational geostationary Meteosat
satellite following 3 pre-operational Meteosat satellites
(Meteosat-1,-2,-3/P2).  The primary goal of the MOP satellites were
(1) to provide visible and IR day/night cloudcover data and radiances
and (2) disseminate image data to users through the Data Collection
Platform (DCP). MOP-3 (or Meteosat 6) is a 2.1 m diameter, 3.195 m
high stepped cylindrical body with solar cells on six main body
panels. The spacecraft is spin-stabilized at 100 rpm around the main
axis aligned almost parallel to the Earth's axis with spin regulated
by two small hydrazine thrusters. Spin access control and east-west
stationkeeping is provided by two pairs of large thrusters. Attitude
information is provided by Earth horizon and Sun-lit sensors. A
radiating diplole antenna directs S-band (333 kbs) transmission of DCP
image data to the Data Acquisition, Telemetry, and Tracking Station at
Odenwald, Germany for relay to the Meteosat Ground Computer System and
Meteosat Operations Control center at ESA's European Space Operations
Center (ESOC). The MOP-3 carries a single imaging radiometer in
visible/infrared wavelengths in addition to the Data Collection
Platform.
