HydroGNSS: UK leads ESA’s first ‘Scout’ climate mission into orbit The UK has taken a major step forward in space-based climate science with the successful launch of HydroGNSS, a new pair of satellites that will monitor the planet’s water cycle from space.

#HydroGNSS is in orbit! 🚀

@esa.int first Scout mission, built in the UK by SSTL, will track soil moisture, flooding & ocean winds using GNSS signals.

NCEO Exec Director: “Great to see a UK-led, commercial satellite with academic support into orbit.”

The #HydroGNSS mission from @esa.int has been successfully launched! 🚀

#IEEC researchers at the @ice-csic.bsky.social participate in this project, which will advance the understanding of #water availability and the effects of climate change on Earth's water cycle.
