New Earth Observation Satellite To Monitor Oceans, Land, And Climate
The European Union has successfully launched the Copernicus Sentinel-3C satellite, which will strengthen Europe’s ability to monitor the health of our oceans, land, and climate. The satellite, launched from Kourou, French Guiana, aboard a Vega C launcher, will provide data that are freely available to public and private users around the world. Sentinel-3C will support a wide range of applications, including weather forecasting, agriculture, and climate monitoring. The mission was delivered in close cooperation with the European Space Agency, EUMETSAT, and Avio, as reported by the European Commission.
