The European Space Agency (ESA)’s Biomass satellite is designed to measure the amount of carbon stored in tropical forests. It was launched from Europe’s spaceport in Kourou, on 29 April 2025.

In the first of two special episodes dedicated to the mission, Euronews Tech Talks takes you to French Guiana on the eve of the launch to explore what the satellite is designed to do and how people were feeling in the final hours before liftoff.
