GMV is intensifying its contribution to the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Copernicus Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide Monitoring (CO₂M) mission, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at tracking human-induced CO₂ emissions from orbit with unprecedented precision.

Scheduled for launch in 2026, CO₂M will deploy a constellation of satellites equipped with advanced spectrometers to measure atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂). These measurements will enable policymakers to assess the effectiveness of climate mitigation efforts and support the European Union’s commitment to the Paris Agreement.

GMV at the forefront of developing the mission's data processing systems, transforming raw satellite observations into actionable information. The company is responsible for creating processing chains that handle data from Level 0 (raw telemetry) to Level 2 (geophysical products), utilizing sophisticated algorithms implemented in programming languages such as Python and C++. These systems will generate high-resolution maps of greenhouse gas emissions, providing critical insights for scientists and decision-makers.

This expanded role builds upon GMV’s extensive experience in Earth observation and environmental monitoring, areas in which GMV has previously contributed contributed to various ESA missions, including the development of precise orbit determination services and ground segment solutions. Their expertise ensures the reliability and accuracy of the data products essential for understanding and addressing climate change.

The CO₂M mission represents a significant advancement in global efforts to monitor and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By providing detailed, timely data on anthropogenic CO₂ sources, the mission will empower governments and organizations worldwide to implement more effective environmental policies.
