On 13 August 2025 at 02:37 CEST EUMETSAT’s Metop-SGA1, which hosts the first Copernicus Sentinel-5 instrument, launched from Kourou spaceport. Shortly after the satellite sent back its first signal and opened its solar panel.

Metop-SGA1 is the first in a series of three successive pairs of satellites that will ensure delivery of global observations from polar orbit for weather forecasting and climate analysis.

Sentinel-5A will deliver daily global data on key air pollutants, essential climate variables, and stratospheric ozone that protects us from ultraviolet radiation.

  1. Can you guys please create more videos about "zooming into space" We would appreciate the efford! Please take us to Alpha Centauri B and deep into the space. We really love to see!

  2. Very nice, congrats Arianespace!

    I'm so glad Europe keeps improving climate research, unlike the US where GOP is killing science funding and even shutting down active satellites to sweep climate data under the rug just so that their big oil buddies and tech bros can profit and deregulate so they don't have to care about environmental issues and pollution anymore.

    It's just so sad, pathetic and criminal. Sorry but i just had to say this. Keep up the good work, Arianespace!
