Taking Earth’s temperature from space

Climate change exacerbates droughts by making them more frequent, longer, and more severe. This can have a wide range of impacts on the environment, agriculture, ecosystems and communities including water scarcity, crop failure and food shortages.
The upcoming Copernicus Land Surface Temperature Monitoring, LSTM, mission will improve sustainable agricultural productivity in a world of increasing water scarcity and variability.
The mission will carry a high spatial-temporal resolution thermal infrared sensor to provide observations of land-surface temperature.
These data are key to understand and respond to climate variability, manage water resources for agricultural production, predict droughts and also to address land degradation.
LSTM is one of six Copernicus Sentinel Expansion missions that ESA is developing on behalf of the EU. The missions will expand the current capabilities of the Copernicus Space Component - the world’s biggest supplier of Earth observation data.
This video features interviews with Ana Bolea Alamanac, LSTM Mission Project Manager, Ilias Manolis, LSTM Mission Payload Manager and Itziar Barat, LSTM Mission System and Operations Manager.

I was here before 14th March! I hope the European Space Agency will save the climate one day,.

[@sewme1468]

saving the planet is a collective effort. we all need to adapt and do our part

Thank you ESA and LSTM team. Greetings from Bimac Research Group and Bioeng grad program, universidad del Cauca, Colombia.

A very important mission for our future. Thanks to the ESA and LSTM team!!!

Thank you ESA💙🖌
Video👍

[@user-re1lu4nv9o]

Thank you for your explanations. Water, farming and how we grow the crops are fundamental. There have been droughts, as well as floods, and it was about time to have this drone to mitigate some problems snd proviide data that help farmers or anyone who requires. It is about action and thinking about the future.
