ESA's new Biomass probe to help combat deforestation from outer space <br /><br />A space probe is preparing for launch into Earth's orbit this month to map the carbon content of tropical forests in some of the world's most remote areas. A new radar scanner will be attached to the Biomass space probe, and, after its planned launch on April 29, 2025 will orbit the earth for several years collecting data on the densest rainforests across Africa, Asia and South America. The scanner will use interferometry technology to gather data on carbon storage in the forests, with the goal to improve understanding of the carbon cycle flow and measure the effects of deforestation and climate change. <br /><br />ESA / REUTERS / ESA/ATG MEDIA LAB <br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /><br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /><br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer <br />Stitcher: https://tmt.ph/stitcher <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein <br />Soundcloud: https://tmt.ph/soundcloud <br /><br />#TheManilaTimes <br />#tmtnews <br />#ESA <br />#biomass
