Mission Overview
Sentinel-3 is a component of the European Copernicus programme, designed to observe various aspects of the Earth system. It gathers environmental information that helps scientists understand the complex interactions between oceans, land, and the atmosphere.
The diversity of its measurements significantly contributes to deepening our knowledge of climate change over the past decade. Continuous data collection enables researchers to identify trends and improve models that predict future developments.
Continuity Through the Third Satellite
The launch of the third Sentinel-3 satellite marks an important step to ensure the uninterrupted flow of the observation series. This keeps the data source available, which is essential for monitoring climate change and supporting policy decisions.
In the long term, the mission helps establish a foundation for global climate research and provides valuable input for international agreements and national adaptation strategies.
