Aeolus to understand winds
At the Airbus Defence and Space facility in Toulouse, France, ESA’s Aeolus wind satellite has been prepared for its launch on top of a Vega rocket from Kourou in French Guiana. Liftoff is currently scheduled for August. The development of this latest Earth Explorer started 16 years ago and has now finished.
From orbit Aeolus will measure wind profiles on a global scale using a pioneering laser technology. These measurements will greatly benefit existing meteorological models and fill a gap in the observations of wind.

Using optics is great knowing the pulses, how beautiful. Marverllous. More precision. Well done, ESA.
A Giant Leap!
The fact that Kim Kardashian gets more attention than this makes me have warm and positive thoughts about us.
Real warm feelings I have right now, gives me a lot of hope for humanity. ❤
Planned 97 degrees inclination, sun synchronous. So with a UV sensitive camera we should see it.
I'm shocked to see space technology on EU
Thanks all people they make our life better.
