Description
Summary:FLEX is an ESA Explorer Mission devoted to monitoring the health status of Earth vegetation by means of measurements of the solar-induced fluorescence, allowing an early and more direct diagnosis of the status of the photosynthetic activity. FLEX will fly in 2025 in tandem with the Sentinel 3 C and D satellites of the ESA EE8 program in the framework of the EC Copernicus mission, and it will make use of synergy with OLCI and the SLSTR optical payloads, which are flying on board of the Sentinel 3A and B satellites. Leonardo (I) is the prime instrument responsible for both the FLORIS and the SLSTR payloads.
