GERB is an Announcement of Opportunity Instrument for EUMETSAT's MSG-1 (Meteosat Second Generation) satellite, intended to make accurate measurements of the Earth Radiation Budget from geostationary orbit. It has been produced by a European consortium led by the UK together with Belgium and Italy, with funding from national agencies. Additional GERB instruments are being provided for MSG-2 and MSG-3, with funding by EUMETSAT.
On the 29th of January 2004 the first Meteosat Second Generation satellite MSG-1, renamed to Meteosat-8, commenced routine operations. A selection of live image data from the Meteosat-8 satellite can be viewed on-line from http://www.eumetsat.de/ or Meteosat Images http://oiswww.eumetsat.org/IDDS-cgi/listImages
