Description
Summary:The Ice Cloud Imager (ICI) instrument for MetOp-SG, being developed by Airbus DS (Spain) for ESA and EUMETSAT, has successfully passed the preliminary design phase. At this stage, most of the sub-system contractors have been selected, the specifications as well as the interfaces with the satellite have been consolidated and the most critical elements are being supported by prototyping activities to mitigate development risks.
