\"img_colorlogo_darkblue\"<\/a>ESA, the European Commission, Eumetsat and Thales Alenia Space are inviting media to view the completed Sentinel 3A satellite in Cannes, France, on\u00a0<\/span>15 October<\/span><\/span>.<\/span>

Before Sentinel-3A is packed up and shipped to Russia for launch, media have the opportunity to see this state-of-the-art satellite in the cleanroom. Project managers and specialists will explain how it is set to mark a new chapter in our ability to measure sea-surface topography, sea and land-surface temperature, and ocean and land-surface colour, in support of ocean and weather forecasting systems.<\/span>

Over land, this innovative mission will map the way land is used, study vegetation and measure the heights of rivers and lakes. In addition, it will detect and monitor wildfires.<\/span>

Sentinel-3A is the third satellite to be launched for Europe’s Copernicus environmental monitoring programme.\u00a0<\/span>An industrial consortium led by prime contractor Thales Alenia Space built the satellite.\u00a0<\/span>Sentinel-3A will be launched in December on a Rockot from Plesetsk in Russia.<\/span>

The\u00a0<\/span>15 October<\/span><\/span>\u00a0press event and visit to the cleanroom will include briefings by experts from ESA, the European Commission, Eumetsat and Thales Alenia Space.<\/span><\/p>\n
