Preparation of a satellite to observe environmental pollution
London: The UK will launch a satellite into space that may
measure the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and their effects
on the planet.
According to the international website, the United Kingdom
has started the development of a special satellite to measure the emission of
greenhouse gases that cause global warming and its effects on the planet.
Steven Edge of Airbus, one of the world's largest aircraft
manufacturers of satellites, under the Euro Space Agency's (ESA) Earth Observation
Mission for Infrared Outgoing Radiation under Standing and Monitoring (Forum) is
going to be manufactured in the factory.
The Forum has finalized a 160 million euro deal with Airbus
to build the special aircraft in the British Parliament this week in the
presence of George Freeman, Minister for Science, Research and Innovation.
George Freeman says the forum is an excellent project by the
European Space Agency, which has strengthened the UK in research on temperature
change and therefore the development of satellites.
He added that this special satellite would monitor the
ultraviolet radiation coming from the surface of our planet, causing the
molecules of gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor to vibrate at
atmospheric temperatures. Causes increase and are a crucial aspect of climate
change.
Under the mission, the one-ton satellite is predicted to be
sent into orbit by 2027 via the Vega rocket.
