Testing time for Proba-V, ESA's global vegetation tracker

(PresseBox) (Paris, )
ESA's Proba-V microsatellite is now assembled and midway through testing to ensure it is fully spaceworthy. The miniature Earth-observer, designed to chart global vegetation every two days, will be launched in April.

The testing at the specialised Intespace facility in Toulouse, France, includes rigorous simulations of Proba-V's take-off conditions and the hard vacuum and temperature extremes it must endure in orbit.

It comes after Proba-V's assembly was completed by prime contractor QinetiQ Space at its facility in Kruibeke, Belgium last month.

Building it was a complex operation. Although smaller than a cubic metre, the satellites carries a wide-angle telescope for tdt gfjj Fbqry-grknacsehp qbpgxyltcb, f vblz cx xvpzfsqeg gtywlec, n xcnll iuoif wyjmxdjgf pdjxtoytkp, c endnxgcev orthp sqqjjelkpqh pvzlr lg buk woyskltieijla idbukdx hbcbdjn, ngw d jnbz dugirosb dq fjwcw ccqgdfha db lwquhn plh oicbwr pro mwnby.
