Titlu: FRENCH GUIANA ESA AEOLUS SATELLITE

Descriere: epa06950964 A undated handout photo taken at Kourou between on the 8th and 9th of August 2018 and made available by ESA on 15 August 2018, showing ESA's Aeolus Earth Explorer satellite ahead of its 21 August liftoff from Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. The extraordinary satellite has been at the launch site since early July where it has been tested and prepared for launch. It will be taken into orbit on a Vega rocket. Aeolus carries one of the most sophisticated instruments ever to be put into orbit. The first of its kind, the Aladin instrument includes revolutionary laser technology to generate pulses of ultraviolet light that are beamed down into the atmosphere to profile the world's winds â€' a completely new approach to measuring the wind from space and not only contribute to climate change research, but will also help to predict extreme events such as hurricanes and El NiĂąo.
