- - METOP mission provides meteorological observations from polar orbit and contributes to the long-term climate monitoring programme. It also has a search and rescue function; - - BIOMASS will provide global scale maps of biomass, changes due to forest loss (from logging/burning) and forest regrowth, improving the understanding of the contribution of forests to the global carbon budget; - - Twin Grace-FO Satellite observes changes in the Earth’s gravitational field over time to better understand the dynamic processes beneath the Earth’s surface and the changes in the ice coverage at the poles; - - Starling is a service that assists companies in verifying commitments made to stop deforestation; - - Zephyr is the world’s leading solar-powered High Altitude Pseudo-Satellite (HAPS), providing persistent surveillance, tracing the world’s changing environmental landscape, and will be able to provide communications to the most unconnected parts of the world. The Airbus Foundation’s partners, such as non-governmental organisations, benefit from Airbus satellite images to assist them in carrying out relief efforts following natural disaster events, as well as the use of Airbus platforms in the transport of relief aide. Further details on the Airbus Foundation are provided later in this chapter.
