The UK and France have launched MicroCarb, Europe's first CO₂‑monitoring satellite funded with £15 million. Built on CNES’s Myriade mini‑satellite platform and launched aboard Vega‑C from Kourou, it orbits at 650 km and delivers 2 km×2 km resolution infrared spectrometry. MicroCarb tracks urban emissions and natural carbon sinks using solar‑induced fluorescence, enhancing climate transparency and bolstering Europe’s Earth‑observation efforts
