Launch of MetOp-C aboard Soyuz
MetOp-C, the third MetOp satellite, was launched into space on board a Soyuz launcher from Europe's spaceport in French Guiana. The Soyuz, with its 4083-kilogram satellite payload, lifted off on 7 November 2018 at 1:47 CET. Approximately 60 minutes later, Soyuz's upper stage delivered MetOp-C into orbit and contact was established through the Yatharagga ground station in Australia.
