Meteor-M N2-3

Meteor-M N2-3 is a Russian operational meteorological satellite operated by Roshydromet and built within the Meteor-3M programme, launched on 27 June 2023 into a sun-synchronous orbit at 820 km altitude with a 15:00 ascending equator crossing time. The satellite carries an infrared sounder (IKFS-2), a multispectral imager (KMSS), a medium-resolution scanner (MSU-MR), a microwave radiometer-sounder (MTVZA-GY), a SAR instrument (MeteorSAR), and space-weather monitoring components (GGAK-E, GGAK-M/RIMS-M, SASR-Meteor). WMO OSCAR lists the satellite's overall headline status as operational, while also documenting that X-band radio link failures prevent global and SAR data transmission; the satellite is currently working with limitations. The payload stack supports atmospheric temperature and humidity profiling, land surface and sea surface temperature retrieval, vegetation monitoring, passive microwave atmospheric sounding, and SAR-based surface backscatter.
