Preparing for an Earth Observation satellite mission

Developing a space mission is a long process that involves a lot of tests, sometimes in harsh environments. An airborne campaign was recently carried out in the Arctic between Greenland, Iceland and Svalbard. Enduring temperatures of 30 degrees below zero, a team tested an airborne version of an imaging microwave radiometer to support the development of a potential satellite mission for Europe’s Copernicus programme.

Thank you ESA for all the work you do. I'll be voting for candidates here in the U.S. that support the "Green New Deal" and hope we once again join the Paris Climate Agreement.
