Everything about Parasol Satellite totally explained
PARASOL is a
French-built
Earth observing research
satellite. It carries an instrument called POLDER which studies the radiative and microphysical properties of
clouds and
aerosols.
PARASOL was launched from the french
spaceport in
Kourou,
French Guiana on
December 18,
2004 by an
Ariane 5 G+. It will fly in formation in the "
A Train" with several other satellites (
Aqua,
CALIPSO,
CloudSat and
Aura). These satellites, to be joined later by
NASA’s Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) in
2008, will for the first time ever combine a full suite of instruments for observing clouds and aerosols, from passive
radiometers to active
lidar and
radar sounders.
