Go4liftoff Vega C Biomass Esa’s biomass satellite is launched from europe’s spaceport in french guiana on a vega c rocket. the rocket fairing protects the satellite during liftoff but is jettisoned soon after. To accomplish this mission, the satellite is carrying a p band synthetic aperture radar (sar) capable of penetrating through forest canopies to precisely measure their biomass and ability to store carbon, and hence to gain a deeper understanding of the role of forests in the carbon cycle and climate change.
Go4liftoff Vega C Biomass An avio built vega c rocket was launched from the guiana space centre in french guiana on 29 april, successfully delivering the european space agency’s biomass to orbit. Biomass is an european space agency mission designed to measure the density of carbon stored in the world's forests. the spacecraft, built by airbus defence and space, features the first civilian p band synthetic aperture radar as well as a 12m diameter deployable reflector from l3harris made of over 900 km of gold coated molybdenum 25µm wire. The european space agency’s seventh earth explorer mission, biomass, launched on tuesday aboard an arianespace vega c rocket. The satellite will be designed to provide, for the first time from space, p band radar measurements that are optimised to determine the amount of biomass and carbon stored in the world’s forests with greater accuracy than ever before.

The european space agency’s biomass satellite was launched on april 29, 2025, aboard a vega c rocket from french guiana. following launch, its large umbrella like antenna was successfully deployed, marking the completion of its early operations phase.
