Simba CubeSat to swivel from Earth to Sun to help track climate change
Due to launch aboard the return to flight launch of the Vega rocket, Belgium’s Simba CubeSat is a tiny mission with a big ambition: to measure one of the fundamental drivers of climate change in a new way. The 30-cm long nanosatellite will turn from Earth to space to the Sun and back again, to calculate our planet’s overall energy budget.
