Press release - TU Delft and the Chinese University of Tsinghua are set to make a major contribution to the climate debate thanks to a joint satellite programme. In 2011 at the latest, the two universities plan to send two satellites to orbit the earth in a formation that spans a number of kilometres. The two satellites will monitor fixed and liquid particles present in the atmosphere, such as soot particles, and will measure snow and ice levels on earth. The combination of these measurements will provide fresh insight into the influence of air pollution on climate change.
