The first-generation Meteosat satellites were a series of seven European satellites that are designed to monitor the weather from GEO, complementing NASA's GOES satellites. Weighing around 282 kg and measuring about 3.195 m in length, these satellites were launched between 1977 and 1997, and it continued their service until the last one was decommissioned in 2017
