- Description
ESA’s Biomass satellite is launched from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana on a Vega-C rocket. The satellite is released into orbit about one hour after liftoff, after which it opens its solar panel.
Once in orbit, this latest Earth Explorer mission will provide vital insights into the health and dynamics of the world’s forests, revealing how they are changing over time and, critically, enhancing our understanding of their role in the global carbon cycle.
