Abstract
The paper briefs on the current status of EUMETSAT's programmes and plans. The mandatory programmes (geostationary (Meteosat) and polar orbiting (EUMETSAT Polar System) are discussed at the beginning. Status and plans of EUMETSAT’s optional, and third party programmes will be briefed, in particular Copernicus Jason-3, Jason-CS and Sentinel-3. Jason-CS A will be launched in 2020. The follow on programmes of the mandatory programmes, Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) and EPS Second Generation (EPS-SG) will be presented as well as EUMETSAT’s contribution to Copernicus.
