Monitoring ozone

The ozone layer protects life on Earth from ultraviolet radiation but it is also a powerful greenhouse gas. Satellites can provide measurements of atmospheric ozone and monitor distribution changes with the seasons.

Introducing Sentinel-5P

The preparations of ESA’s latest Earth observation satellite Sentinel-5P, also known as Sentinel-5 Precursor, are finished, and the satellite has been shipped to the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia for launch in October 2017.

Sentinel-5P will ensure continued data is gathering on Earth’s atmosphere and is the intermediary satellite to fill the gap between the past generation of atmospheric monitoring satellites and the future generation of Sentinel-4 and 5, which will be launched early in the next decade. Sentinel-5P is part of Copernicus,the world’s largest environmental monitoring programme which is operated bythe European Commission.

This video contains interviews with: Josef Aschbacher, ESA Director of Earth observation programmes, Kevin McMullan, ESA Sentinel-5P Project Manager and Claus Zehner, ESA Sentinel-5P Mission Manager
