The propulsion system was then passivated and the satellite deactivated. Meteosat-9 is also stationed over the Indian Ocean, arriving at 45.5°E on 20 April 2022 and it took over as prime IODC spacecraft on 1 June 2022 (replacing Meteosat-8). Meteosat-10 and -11 are located over Africa with various differences in operational configuration.
