Europe Launches Sentinel 3C and FLEX Satellites for Climate and Vegetation Monitoring

A Vega C rocket is scheduled to launch two ESA/Eumetsat Earth observation satellites, Sentinel 3C and FLEX, to study climate and vegetation. The mission continues Europe's Copernicus program, with FLEX being the first satellite dedicated to measuring vegetation fluorescence. This enhances Europe's climate monitoring capability but does not represent a policy shift.
