Torrential rainfall causing deadly flash floods has hit southern and eastern Spain in regions including the Costa del Sol, where the city of Malaga is located, and Valencia in the east. As these areas struggle to cope with the aftermath, satellite technology has played a crucial role in assessing the damages of the affected areas.

The structure of the first Copernicus Sentinel CRISTAL satellite is now ready to be equipped with the hardware that will allow it to function in orbit. Then, engineers will be able to install the advanced instruments that will provide ‘crystal clear’ insights into environmental changes in the world’s remote icy regions.
