21. Plan for Switchover of Imaging Function from MTSAT-1R (Himawari-6) to MTSAT-2 (Himawari-7)  JMA switched operational use of Himawari-6’s imaging function over to that of MTSAT-2 (Himawari-7) on 1 July 2010.  MTSAT-1R (Himawari-6) continues its dissemination services for HRIT/LRIT image data to ground stations after the switchover.  More information is available on JMA’s Meteorological Satellite Center website at http://mscweb.kishou.go.jp/notice/switch_over_e.htm Artist’s image of MTSAT-2 (Himawari- 7) launched on 18 February 2006 on standby in geostationary orbit at 145 degrees east since 4 September 2006 JAPAN METEOROLOGICAL AGENCY
