CO2M satellite structure

One of the Copernicus Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide Monitoring (CO2M) satellite structures in the cleanroom at OHB.

CO2M's main goal is to help us track greenhouse gas emitters and transparently assess whether nations are on track to meet the emissions targets set by the Paris Climate Change Agreement. CO2M’s passive remote instruments will measure key greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide and methane, which are important indicators of climate change. In addition, CO2M observations will provide data on aerosol optical depth and nitrogen dioxide levels in the lower atmosphere.
