The Copernicus Sentinel-2C satellite is set for liftoff on 4 September on the last Vega rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
This recording is of a media briefing held on 29 August 2024 to offer journalists the possibility to learn more about the Sentinel-2 mission and the last flight of Vega, Europe’s nimble rocket specialising in launching small scientific and Earth observation spacecraft such as to sun-synchronous polar orbits, following the Sun.
The Sentinel-2 mission is based on a constellation of two identical satellites, Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B, flying in the same orbit but 180°

Scientists have been exploring the potential of injecting sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere as a method to reflect solar heat and mitigate the effects of global warming. However, there is a growing need to ensure that these solar geoengineering strategies are assessed not only for their cooling potential but also for their technical viability and possible ecological and societal impacts.
