Atlantic Constellation Pathfinder
Atlantic Constellation Pathfinder
| UKSA | Approved | Jun 2027 | Jul 2031 | The Atlantic Constellation aims to provide more frequent coverage of European territories that could be affected by natural disasters or climate change and erosion, as well as support commercial enterprises such as agriculture. The programme differs from existing European constellation satellites such as Copernicus in that it would reduce revisit times from 3 days to 24 hours. This Pathfinder will demonstrate the key technologies asociated with the project such as enhanced AI processesing and inter satellite links allowing tasking even when not above a ground station. | MSI (Atlantic Constellation PF) | Type: Sun-synchronous

FLEX
FLuorescence EXplorer
| ESA | Approved | Sep 2026 | Dec 2030 | FLEX will provide global maps of vegetation fluorescence that can reflect photosynthetic activity and plant health and stress. This is not only important for a better understanding of actual photosynthetic efficiency, the status of vegetation health and plant performance and of the global carbon cycle, but also for agricultural management and food security. | FLORIS | Type: Sun-synchronous
