ESA’s Proba-V microsatellite is now assembled and midway through testing to ensure it is fully spaceworthy. The miniature Earth-observer, designed to chart global vegetation every two days, will be launched in April.
Proba forms part of ESA's drive effort to promote technological flights using small spacecraft. It is hoped it will also demonstrate that micro-satellites can efficiently combine in-orbit technology demonstration and operational missions.
