New data acquired from #EarthCARE instrument 🛰️ The European Space Agency - ESA EarthCARE satellite - launched in May - carries four instruments that together shed new light on the role that clouds and aerosols play in regulating Earth’s climate. The Airbus-built atmospheric lidar (ATLID), which provides vertical profiles of aerosols and thin clouds, has just sent its first measurements from orbit! ⬇️ Learn more: 🔗https://lnkd.in/dgVd7gkf #SpaceMatters #Climate #EarthObservation #Satellite

Meanwhile, preps for launch are ongoing in Kourou at the European Space Port for Sentinel 2C Earth observation 🛰️. 📆 launch on 4 September 03:50 CEST 🚀 Vega rocket by ARIANESPACE 🌍 for the Copernicus programme with European Space Agency - ESA Data collected by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites is being used to monitor land use and change, soil sealing, land management, agriculture, forestry, natural disasters (floods, forest fires, landslides, volcanic eruptions and erosion) and to support humanitarian aid missions. Environmental monitoring, which provides information on the pollution of lakes and coastal waters, is also part of these activities, as is the monitoring of glaciers, ice and snow. #SpaceMatters #EarthObservation #Satellite #Copernicus

Bye-bye ESM-3! 🚀 The Airbus-built ESM-3, that will bring boots back on the Moon 🌑, left the Airbus facilities in Bremen to head to its launch site in Cape Canaveral. The European Service Module (ESM) will travel aboard the ship Canopée 🚢 and arrive in Florida in early September for further testing.

JUICE 🧃 is coming back to Earth! 🌎 The spacecraft is returning to the Moon and Earth's gravity to say hi 👋 JUICE will do a flyby to alter its trajectory through space, enabling it to reach Jupiter more quickly while using less fuel. At its closest during the flyby, JUICE will be only 6807 km away from Earth! As JUICE navigates around these two massive space obstacles, the European Space Agency - ESA will activate the spacecraft's 10 science instruments. The flyby provides an excellent testing opportunity for the teams to acquire and analyse data from celestial body for the first time. JUICE orbital ballet will be the first ever lunar-Earth flyby, challenging to say the least! 🌑 #Space #SpaceMatters #Spacecraft

14 August 1974 was a day for the history books: the first Tornado prototype took to the skies for its first flight. 🛫 Today, 50 years and numerous technological upgrades later, the aircraft is still in service, including with the German Air Force. Happy birthday, Tornado! 🥳 You have created an impressive legacy that will live on in the #Eurofighter and #FCAS for decades to come. #DefenceMatters #Defence #MilitaryAircraft

The last leg of #PacificSkies24 - the large-scale aerial deployment exercise in the Indo-Pacific region - has begun: Exercise Tarang Shakti in India. 🇮🇳 The exercise is marked by firsts: it's the first time for the Indian Air Force to organise joint training of this dimension, and for some of the participating nations it will be their first time ever flying in Indian airspace. A total of 40 fighter jets will take part in Tarang Shakti, some of them Russian-built.
