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
