European Weather Satellite Program Hits Another Snag

摘要

Europe's Eumetsat meteorological satellite organization on Dec. 1 failed to receive full go-ahead approval for its next-generation Meteosat system when Portugal declined to allow the program to start, Eumetsat officials said.rnPortugal's resistance went so far as to prohibit those nations that have approved the Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) system from funding the program in its early stages on their own, without Portuguese investment, officials said.
