AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoSpace Launch from Kourou: Copernicus Sentinel-3C is set to lift off from the European Spaceport in French Guiana on September 14 (10:21 PM Kourou time / 01:21 UTC), aboard Avio’s Vega-C, alongside ESA’s FLEX Earth Explorer, in mission “VV30.” Earth Observation for Climate & Coasts: Sentinel-3C will reach a sun-synchronous orbit about 820 km up and join Sentinel-3A and 3B to keep environmental monitoring continuous—tracking sea surface temperatures, sea levels, ocean colour, and land cover. Practical Impact: The data will support climate monitoring, weather and disaster response, and help detect ocean algal blooms via changes in ocean colour. New Vegetation Mission: FLEX will monitor plant health by sensing faint fluorescence from photosynthesis, aiming to improve insights for agriculture and vegetation management.
