Hi,

I'd like to request new GCMD keywords for the Meteosat-12 satellite and its FCI instrument.

Platforms > Space-based Platforms > Earth Observation Satellites > Meteosat > METEOSAT-12

Instruments > Earth Remote Sensing Instruments > Passive Remote Sensing > Spectrometers/Radiometers > Imaging Spectrometers/Radiometers > FCI > Flexible Combined Imager

There's already a group for Meteosat Third Generation (MTG). But since Meteosat First (1-7) and Second (8-11) Generation Platforms are in the "Meteosat" group already, I'd propose to add Meteosat-12 to the same group.

Cheers,
Stephan
