Bulgaria becomes EUMETSAT member

Bulgaria has signed an agreement for full membership in the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT). The organization has been created to pool the efforts of European countries for long-term and effective development of satellite technologies in operational meteorology. In 2005 Bulgaria became its associated member. Now as a full member it gains full access to European technologies in the use of meteorological and other satellite information for observation of the atmosphere, the earth’s land and water surface. It is going to join the construction of the European meteorological satellites Meteosat of the third generation (MTG), Metop (EPS-SG) of the second generation and Jason oceanographic satellites.
