Climate Monitoring Satellites Episode 3

The Copernicus program uses its satellite constellation to collect ultra-precise data on climate change. ESA’s Copernicus program represents an investment of roughly 7 billion euros and generates petabits of data to model future climate shifts, primarily through the Sentinel-6 satellite, which has been operational since June 2021. This highly sophisticated spacecraft specifically measures sea-level rise, and its initial findings confirm a deeply concerning trend.
