Biomass inside Vega-C

Artist's view of ESA's Biomass satellite inside a Vega-C rocket. Biomass is scheduled for liftoff on 29 April 2025 on Vega-C flight VV26 from Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.

Once in orbit and commissioned, the Biomass mission will play a key role in delivering novel information about the state of our forests, how they are changing over time, and advance our knowledge of the carbon cycle.
