ESA’s Aeolus satellite is sealed in the thermal vacuum chamber at the Centre Spatial de Liège in Belgium to make sure it will work in space. The satellite will measure profiles of the world’s winds using novel laser technology. This will not only advance our knowledge of atmospheric dynamics, but also provide much-needed information to improve weather forecasts.
