Environmental satellite ready for blast off. Fresh from EURONEWS / European Space Agency

bayuya (63) in space • 7 years ago

European Space Agency's latest satellite, Sentinel - 5P is ready to go for its mission.

You can watch the launch of the Sentinel - 5P LIVE here. The launch is set after 1H 55min.

An instrument on board, called Tropomi, will measure pollution around the globe once a day, as it flies on a polar orbit mapping a multitude of trace gases. It is designed to answer questions about air quality and the ozone layer.

“You have one satellite instrument measuring the complete globe – it means that you have one calibrated instrument measuring everywhere – it means that you can compare the pollution levels in Europe directly with those in China and United States”

By measuring emissions, the sources of pollution and greenhouse gases can be identified. And scientists will be able to follow these globally, and track the efficiency of policies implemented to improve air quality and halt climate change.
