Europe Launches Climate Satellites to Track Plant Life

The European Space Agency has successfully deployed two satellites into orbit to monitor climate change impacts, with one satellite specifically designed to observe vegetation and plant life. This mission strengthens Europe's climate observation capabilities and provides critical data for environmental monitoring and policy decisions.

Byte's take

Europe's betting billions on satellites to watch grass grow—literally. The ESA's twin orbiters will feed the EU Green Deal machine with vegetation data it needs to prove net-zero progress and dodge climate fines from Brussels.
