CO3D is a CNES-Airbus Defence & Space constellation of four small satellites designed to map the globe in 3D from low Earth to serve public and private sector needs. Microcarb is a small satellite designed to map sources and sinks of carbon dioxide (CO2)—the most important greenhouse gas — on a global scale.
CO3D1 was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Vega-C | CO3D & MicroCarb’, on board a Vega-C space rocket.
The launch took place on July 26, 2025, 2:03 a.m. from Ariane Launch Area 1 (ELV).
