TRUTHS: A climate mission conceived by the UK’s National Physical Laboratory (NPL) to track climate change more accurately from space. It is being developed by ESA on behalf of the UK Space Agency and other partner nations across Europe to track climate change more accurately from space.
Missions
The UK is making crucial contributions to future and current climate satellite missions to provide essential information for effective climate action and monitoring of progress in addressing climate change from space.
Upcoming missions include TRUTHS, the first climate mission led by the UK Space Agency and implemented through the European Space Agency (ESA), MicroCarb and BIOMASS which are being designed and built using UK skills and facilities.
Discover more about each mission, the expertise of Space4Climate members involved and the pivotal role the satellites will play in gathering and supplying Earth observation data for climate decisions and climate services for adaptation and mitigation in our plain language videos. Hear directly from the world-leading scientists at the forefront of the missions and from the people building the satellite instruments in the UK.
