The MetOp-Second Generation (MetOp-SG) mission is poised to revolutionize weather forecasting and will ensure the continued delivery of vital global observations. It will provide data for unprecedented weather forecasting accuracy and climate monitoring.
The Copernicus Sentinel-5 spectrometer is an advanced instrument designed to deliver critical data on air pollutants, ozone and climate-related gases to support air-quality monitoring. The instrument will be carried on board MetOp-SG’s A-type satellites.
The satellite will be shipped beginning of June 2025 to Europe’s spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, and will be launched in August 2025 on the next Ariane 6 rocket.
