EarthCARE satellite set for launch
==========

ESA's EarthCARE satellite has been prepared for launch after undergoing detailed inspections and testing at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The satellite's four main instruments are designed to study the interactions between clouds, aerosols, solar energy, and outgoing radiation to better understand Earth's climate. The satellite was cleaned using UV light in a darkened cleanroom to ensure the absence of dust. The cloud profiling radar antenna, a joint effort with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), was also deployed. The UK team fueled the satellite, one of the final steps before it is sealed within the rocket fairing for launch.
