    About this moment

    Vega-C: Harmony is expected 2029. The exact day has not been announced yet.

    Avio S.p.A is preparing to launch Harmony on a Vega-C from Guiana Space Centre, French Guiana. Harmony, ESA's 10th Earth Explorer mission, consists of 2 satellites that will orbit Earth in tandem with a Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellite in various configurations. The Harmony satellites’ synthetic aperture radar instruments will receive the Sentinel-1 satellite's radar signals that bounce back, or ‘backscatter’, from Earth’s surface. At the same time, Harmony’s thermal-infrared instruments provide complementary observations of the sea surface as well as the position and motion of clouds above it. Launch is expected in 2029 and no firm date has been announced yet.

    This listing uses an approximate period. An exact day has not been confirmed.
