About EarthCARE
ESA’s Earth Cloud Aerosol and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) mission is the most complex of all of ESA’s trailblazing Earth Explorer missions – missions that deliver critical information to understand how our world functions and the impact that human activity is having on natural processes.
Equipped with four state-of-the-art instruments, EarthCARE will make a range of different measurements that together will shed new light on the role that clouds and aerosols play in regulating Earth’s delicate temperature balance.
EarthCARE has been developed as a cooperation between ESA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
