science π°οΈ Space sensors launch on Earth observation missions
Teledyne Space Imaging technology was successfully launched aboard ESAβs Sentinel-3C and FLEX missions this morning. These satellites were deployed via a Vega C rocket from the Spaceport in French Guiana. Sentinel-3C uses five CCD55-20 detectors, while FLEX uses three CCD325 detectors. These missions will monitor Earth's oceans, land surfaces, and vegetation health. The data collected will support climate forecasting and understand carbon cycles. π°οΈ
