BIOMASS launches to measure forest carbon flux from space

Key Points

The BIOMASS mission successfully launched and aims to measure carbon flux from forests.
Using P-band SAR technology, the satellite can penetrate forest canopies, enhancing data collection.
The combination of P-band SAR and hyperspectral mapping provides deeper insights into global tree health.
Global forest monitoring is crucial for understanding climate change and managing resources effectively.

Abstract

The BIOMASS forest mission satellite was successfully boosted into space a couple of days ago, after decades of development from just down the road in Stevenage. I'm excited by this because it's the first global-scale P-band SAR instrument that can penetrate forest canopys to look underneath. This, when combined with hyperspectral mapping will give us a lot more insight into global tree health.
