Meet the team behind EarthCARE

As we approach the launch of ESA’s EarthCARE mission, we caught up with some of the scientists, engineers and experts behind the mission.
With the climate crisis increasingly tightening its grip, ESA’s Earth Cloud Aerosol and Radiation Explorer mission (EarthCARE) will shed new light on the complex interactions between clouds, aerosols and radiation in Earth’s atmosphere.
EarthCARE is the largest and most complex Earth Explorer mission. It comes at a critical time in the development of kilometre-scale resolution, global climate models and will provide an important contribution to an improved understanding of cloud convection and its role in Earth’s radiation budget.
EarthCARE is an ESA mission, but it has been developed as a cooperation between ESA and JAXA, the Japanese Space Agency.
This video features interviews with: Pavlos Kollias from Stony Brook University - McGill University, Thorsten Fehr, EarthCARE Mission Scientist at ESA, Robin Hogan, Senior Scientist at ECMWF, Dirk Bernaerts, EarthCARE Project Manager at ESA, Kotska Wallace, Mission and Optical Payload Manager at ESA, Tomomi Nio, EarthCARE Mission Manager at JAXA, Eiichi Tomita, EarthCARE/CPR Project Manager at JAXA, Ulla Wandinger, Senior Scientist at Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research and Bjoern Frommknecht, EarthCARE Mission Manager at ESA.

I love seeing Esa posts!❤

[@IngridSaybe]

Great! Collaborating with other countries makes a huge difference.

[@snh9263]

Another awesome project!

[@MioDenSmarta.]

Very nice! 👍 Wishing you the best as always, ESA!🎉❤

[@En1Gm4A]

Great work ! thx for the efforts

[@AlphaAerospace0]

ESA EarthCARE is very good for detecting clouds and temperature. I hope this can control the earth's temperature in hot weather!😢

[@philippegoudy954]

Well done chaps

[@AndreZavaglia]

Congratulations to all the scientists and collaborators involved in this fabulous Planetarium Project. The Correlation between Solar Weather in the periods of maximum and minimum will have greater predictability in the climatic impacts on our planet Earth. Success and Hope for Humanity.

Call it Fossil Fueled Global Heating in order to clearly communicate the science usefully to dignified voter-humans from the very first sentence. Say climate change just enough (once or twice) for searching and categorization. Thank you for helping mankind steward our environmental garden. Also, offtopic, when will that brilliant sun surface visualization be released that so many news outlets are just teasing?

[@narayankulkarni5378]

Sir my another question is does NASA or ESA any plan for bulit space station in Ukrain future

[@narayankulkarni5378]

Sir my question is does NASA or ESA any plan for train and send Ukrain astronauts into space

Leonid Kostyantynovych Kadeniuk (Ukrainian: Леонід Костянтинович Каденюк, 28 January 1951 - 31 January 2018)[1] was the first astronaut of independent Ukraine to fly into outer space. He flew on NASA's Space Shuttle Columbia in 1997 as part of the international mission STS-87.[2] Kadenyuk held the rank of major general in the Ukrainian Air Force. He was Deputy of Ukraine of the 4th convocation, People's Ambassador of Ukraine, Hero of Ukraine, President of the Aerospace Society of Ukraine, Adviser to the Prime Minister of Ukraine and Chairman of the State Space Agency of Ukraine, Honorary Doctor of Chernivtsi National University.

Popovich was the fourth cosmonaut in space, the sixth person in orbit, the eighth person and first Ukrainian in space.

Yaroslav "Yarko" Pustovyi (Ukrainian: Пустовий Ярослав Ігорович; born 29 December 1970) is a former Ukrainian astronaut and Canadian businessman. Pustovyi was one of the first astronauts selected by the State Space Agency of Ukraine in 1996. Although he was a backup payload specialist on the 1997 NASA space mission STS-87, he did not fly on the mission. Pustovyi was awarded the Order of Merit for Ukraine in 1998 and competed for the Ansari X Prize in 2003 on the Canadian Arrow team.

The most recent class of ESA astronaut program graduates did not contain a Ukranian citizen...NASA has mostly US citizens, one Turkish born and 2 from the UAE...

[@senescur3787]

Deux faiblesses de l'ASE : son budget insuffisant par rapport à d'autres agences spatiales du monde et l'usage de l'anglais qui le dénature totalement d'un projet européen pour en faire une pâle copie étatsunienne.

[@Pier-zl7gm]

So you propose that the language adopted by ESA is that of the country that most contributes to its budget, right ?

[@EuropeanSpaceAgency]

We are actively expanding our range of subtitles to include various languages in our videos. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

@@EuropeanSpaceAgency Il ne s'agit pas d'une simple question de traduction mais bien que le projet européen est vide d'identité d'autant que la devise de l'UE est "In varietate concordia" (unie dans la diversité).

I think humanity have ONE good solution to cool earth and to recover the global climate ,nature and ecosystems . > artificial clouds, making and pumping watervapor in the sky from desalination of seawater and using solarpower from desert or using rocket engine (hydrogen + oxygen) to pump clouds . the result is a stable climate, recovery of ecosystems and conservation of biodiversity in the nature this is a good natural way nothing is dangerous. 1 solution, 1 chance.

HOW DOES THAT HELP?
