Three weeks ago, a special satellite was launched from the European spaceport in Kourou (French Guiana) aboard an Ariane 6 rocket, which will take the global measurement of air quality and greenhouse gases to the next level.
This is a very important mission, demonstrating how Dutch technology can make a difference in weather and climate research.
Several Dutch institutes, such as SRON, TNO, S&T, and the KNMI, have supplied high-tech measuring instruments for data analysis, telescopes, and testing equipment.
They also play a key role in processing the data for weather models and climate research. With this extremely important mission, the Netherlands has every reason to be proud.
