⚠️ Breakthrough & trade-off: ESA’s Biomass satellite to revolutionize global forest carbon measurement 🌍🔋

🎯 P-band radar penetrates canopies to directly ‘weigh’ trunks and large branches
🚫 Power down zones over North America & Europe—must avoid jamming reconnaissance satellites
⏳ Five-year mission covering remote, data-poor forests like the Amazon
📊 Actionable insights for policymakers on carbon stocks, deforestation, and climate resilience

Balancing cutting-edge science with geopolitical constraints—how should we harness this data to drive real change?

Researchers unveil unprecedented satellite that will have to be turned off when it floats over the US: 'This was a pity'

The European Space Agency's Biomass satellite is the first of its kind and will provide valuable data on how much carbon Earth's forests capture.
