Meteor-M satellites are a new generation of Russian meteorological satellites to replace the Meteor-3M series. The first Meteor-M satellites will feature following instruments:
- MSU-MR - Low-resolution Multispectral Scanner for global and regional for cloud cover mapping
- KMSS - multichannel scanning unit for Earth surface monitoring
- MTVZA-GYa - imager/sounder for Atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles, sea surface wind
- Severjanin - X-band SAR for Ice monitoring
- DCS - Data Collection System
- GGAK-M - Heliogeophysical instrument suite
One intial Meteor-M 1 satellite was built, followed by the improved Meteor-M 2 series satellites.
The Meteor-M 3 satellite was to have a largely modified configuration for an oceanographic mission, but was cancelled.
