ESA FLEX Mission Manager Details Unprecedented Fluorescence Data from Sentinel-3C Launch

ESA's FLEX mission, launched with Sentinel-3C on September 15, aims to measure solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence to monitor plant health and carbon uptake. The interview with mission manager Timon Hummel highlights the mission's unprecedented detail in tracking vegetation stress, which could improve climate models and agricultural monitoring. The mission's success depends on data calibration and integration with Sentinel-3C's optical data.
