Tonight, the European Space Agency will launch its latest mission: a satellite called EarthCARE, which will observe clouds and aerosols in the atmosphere to learn more about climate change.
The launch will be live streamed, so if you’d like to watch along and learn about this new mission, then we have all the details on how to watch below.
Recommended Videos The mission has four instruments — two active and two passive, including a radar, a lidar, an imager, and a radiometer. Together these instruments will gather data on the profiles and vertical motions of clouds and the profiles of aerosols in the atmosphere, which will be matched to data about the distance from Earth’s surface and big-picture images.
The mission is a collaboration between ESA and the Japanese space agency JAXA, which has provided one of the instruments, with the U.S. company SpaceX providing the launch vehicle.
