RT @esaoperations: #EarthCARE is now on internal power.

It will remain so until its solar array is fully deployed and has begun converting sunlight to electricity in orbit.

The spacecraft is ready for launch.

RT @esaoperations: Separation complete: #EarthCARE is alone in space for the first time.

The satellite will now automatically deploy its solar array and begin transmitting telemetry.

Next up: the all-important ‘acquisition of signal’ from Hartebeesthoek ground station in South Africa in approx. 40 minutes.

Seagrasses store vast amounts of climate-warming carbon, but the world has lost half its seagrasses just since 1990.

But dugongs – a little-known cousin of the manatee – are an unlikely ally in maintaining and restoring the world’s seagrass. #WorldDugongDay https://t.co/QNcf4xfuuP

#EarthCARE is now talking to us from space: the ground station in South Africa has picked up the signal from the satellite.

We hear you, #EarthCARE!

Hartebeesthoek station in South Africa has received the satellite’s first signals from space. Telemetry is arriving clearly at ESA mission control in Germany. https://t.co/Zmb58CmG9p - ESA Operations

Despite record carbon pricing revenues in 2023, global carbon price coverage and levels remain too low to meet the Paris Agreement goals. Higher pricing + wider coverage are essential to really unlock the potential of a #PriceOnCarbon.
