A UK-built satellite which will be part of Europe’s world-leading environmental monitoring programme – Copernicus – is ready for launch.
Sentinel-5 Precursor, part of a joint EC–ESA undertaking which aims to supply geo-information products & services based on the use of data from space, is set to leave Airbus’s site in Stevenage.
The satellite will provide essential atmospheric chemistry data to the Copernicus programme before the Sentinel-5 instrument becomes operational in 2021 on the MetOp Second Generation satellite. |
