MSG-4 (Meteosat-11), the last meteorological observation satellite in the meteosat second generation (MSG) series, is scheduled to be launched into the geostationary earth orbit (GEO) from the European Space Port in Kourou in July 2015.

The satellite will provide meteorological data, as well as monitoring the climate across Europe until 2020. It will be placed at 3.4° west geostationary orbital position, which is 36,000km away from the Earth.
