Summary • Himawari-8 and 9 are the new-generation geostationary meteorological satellite. Himawari-8 has been operational since July 2015. Himawari-9 has been standby on orbit since M arch 2017 and is expected to take over the service in 2022. • Himawari-8 and 9 carry a new imager which is a multi-channel passive imaging radiometer similar to the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) on the GOES-16. • JM A distributes the Himawari data in two ways. One is the HimawariCast service via a communication satellite. The other is the HimawariCloud service over the Internet. M eteorological Satellite Center of JM A
