Back Satellite Programme: Cluster for Cloud Evolution, ClimatE and Lightning 

Programme details
Programme description
  • A joint mission of the French (CNES) and Israeli (ISA) space agencies
  • Two nano satellites in sun synchronous orbits to make stereoscopic views of convective clouds.
  • The main aims are: 
    • Quantify development of convective clouds at high spatial resolution
    • Study their relationship with water vapour at different levels in the atmosphere
    • Study how their dynamic and microphysical properties affect their electrical activity
