MicroCarb satellite launches to map global carbon dioxide emissions from space
The MicroCarb satellite, developed by the French space agency CNES in partnership with the UK Space Agency, has been successfully launched from Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. As Europe's first mission dedicated to monitoring and mapping atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), MicroCarb aims to deliver high-precision measurements to better understand the sources and sinks of this critical
