Aeolus-2 is a future European meteorological satellite under development by Airbus for the European Space Agency (ESA) and EUMETSAT. Its goal is to provide continuous global wind profiles for improving weather forecasting and climate monitoring.[1][2][3][4] Aeolus-2 is an operation follow-up mission of ADM-Aeolus launched in 2018.[5][6] It will use a Doppler wind lidar with two lasers building upon heritage of ADM-Aeolus and EarthCARE.[2] It is expected to launch in 2034.[7]
