EUMETSAT Indian Ocean Data Coverage (IODC)
From end of May1998 Meteosat-5 has been located at 63°E where it supported INDOEX until the end of 1999 and will continue as IODC until at least the end of 2005

EUMETSAT Rapid Scanning Service (RSS)
⇒ In 2000 the scanned area was increased significantly and the repeat cycle fixed to 10 minute intervals. From mid 2001 the Rapid Scanning Service became operational
• Resulting from a request to support the Mesoscale Alpine Project (MAP) in September 1999 the backup spacecraft Meteosat-6 was configured to conduct a series of rapid scan operations
•Initially the rapid scan area covered the Alpine region at 5 minute intervals
