    • Released 06/11/2012 11:34 am
    • Description

      Technological progress means more can be done with
      less: also for launch in 2013, the Proba-V microsatellite’s main instrument will track daily vegetation growth worldwide. Proba-V will also perform experimental monitoring of aircraft traffic, measuring space radiation and test a new transmitter based on gallium nitride, the most promising semiconductor since silicon – all from a single desk-sized satellite.
