The Show with the Mouse: Satellite Construction

How does a camera get into space? Photos from space tell us what the weather will be like, farmers can see where their fields need nutrients, and mouse reporter Siham can see exactly where she is on her cell phone. The Sentinel-2B satellite will also deliver new images. The space camera for this is built in a ‘clean room’. No grain of dust allowed in here! This also applies to satellite mounting. Before the satellite can launch, it is shaken firmly to simulate the launch. After the vibration test, every single component is checked to see if it still works as it should. Then the space journey can begin!
