CO2M-C, also known as Sentinel-7C is a future European Earth observation satellite within the EU's Copernicus programme, expected to launch in 2029.[1][2][3] Its goal is to provide global measurements of anthropogenic emissions of CO2, CH4, and NO2 to support fulfilling the Paris Agreement. Like its sister spacecraft CO2M-A and CO2M-B, it will be equipped with an infrared spectrometer, a multi-angle polarimeter, and a cloud imager.[4][5][6][7][8][9]
