Exciting progress in Earth Observation!
The #CIMR – Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer mission, co-funded by ESA and EU member states with strong support from ASI, is set to play a key role in monitoring #environmentalchanges and addressing #climatechallenges.
OHB Italia S.p.A., subcontractor to Thales Alenia Space Italy, is responsible for the development and production of the CIMR instrument for two satellites.
This mission focuses on the polar regions, delivering vital data to promote sustainable solutions in the#Arctic. Equipped with a multichannel microwave #radiometer, the satellite measures sea ice, temperature, salinity, and ocean winds. It also gathers valuable insights on snow, vegetation, and soil moisture, enhancing our understanding of global climate dynamics.
Stay tuned for further update!
