🌍🚀 Proud parent moment alert! Another three of our "kids" are officially flying away tomorrow, September 4th, hitching a ride on the Vega rocket aboard Sentinel 2C. No curfews in space, but plenty of chores - like monitoring the Earth 24/7. They grow up so fast, don’t they? 😄 Wishing them a safe trip and looking forward to the great pics they will send us from orbit! ✨ More on AMOS' project: https://lnkd.in/exsDsP7S More on the sentinel-2 mission: https://lnkd.in/dKXFHtC Sentinel2C ready for launch! https://lnkd.in/eDRA9C7n #Sentinel2C #EarthMonitoring #COPERNICUS
