EarthCARE

We are supplying a Multi Spectral Imager (MSI) Instrument for the EarthCARE mission, ESA's third Earth Explorer Core Mission. The EarthCARE mission has been specifically defined with the basic objective of improving the understanding of cloud-aerosol-radiation interactions so as to include them correctly and reliably in climate and numerical weather prediction models. EarthCARE will meet these objectives by measuring simultaneously the vertical structure and horizontal distribution of cloud and aerosol fields together with outgoing radiation over all climate zones.

See video below for more information on how the different instruments work.
