Exciting news from Space!
Just one week after launch, ESA’s #Biomass mission has achieved a crucial milestone: the full #deployment of its impressive 12-meter diameter “umbrella-like” antenna.
This successful unfolding marks the final key step in the launch and early operations phase, paving the way for unprecedented insights into our planet’s#forests and their vital role in the #carboncycle.
Carrying the first P-band synthetic aperture radar in space, Biomass will deliver crucial information about the state and changes of our forests. So proud for OHB Italia S.p.A. to be part of this remarkable mission.
Stay tuned for more updates as Biomass moves into its commissioning phase!
