ESA and SpaceX Prepare to Launch EarthCARE
The European Space Agency (ESA) and SpaceX are preparing to launch the long-anticipated EarthCARE mission on May 27, 2024, set to improve climate models and weather forecasts by studying Earth’s radiation budget in new detail. EarthCARE’s studies are split into three main domains: Clouds, Aerosols, and Radiation. By characterizing these three components and their interactions, EarthCARE hopes to provide a new enhanced data set to dramatically improve models of our planet’s climate and weather.
