ESA prepares to launch environmental satellite
Background information on the transmission:
In the summer of 2001, an Ariane 5 launcher will put into orbit ENVISAT, Europe’s biggest satellite. Its ten state-of-the-art instruments will enable the study of the environment and the interactions that drive global change in unprecedented detail. ENVISAT will also continue the missions of the ERS-1 and ERS-2 satellites launched in 1991 and 1995.
Today’s transmission is a replay of a very recent overview of Envisat, featuring an interview with Nobel prize winner Paul Crutzen (NL) from the Mainz Max-Planck-Institut. The overview is in split track audio with English voiceover and international sound.
