European Space Agency launched Biomass satellite to monitor forests and climatic studies
Earth's forests, vital for climate regulation, face threats from deforestation and degradation. To address this, ESA launched the Biomass satellite on April 29, 2025, equipped with P-band radar to penetrate forest canopies. Over 5.5 years, Biomass will generate 3D maps of forest biomass and carbon distribution, providing crucial data for understanding the carbon cycle and informing conservation efforts.
