This is <strong>a major step forward in Europe&#8217;s ability to monitor air pollution and atmospheric health<\/strong> on a global scale.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Developed in close cooperation between the European Commission, the European Space Agency (ESA), EUMETSAT and Arianespace, Sentinel-5 will provide daily high-resolution data on air pollutants and trace gases in the atmosphere worldwide. <strong>The satellite will orbit the Earth approximately every 100 minutes<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once operational, the mission will support key EU environmental and climate policies, including the Methane Strategy, the Ambient Air Quality Directive and the Zero Pollution Action Plan.
