A UK-assembled satellite is set to go into orbit shortly to monitor air quality around the globe.
Its Dutch-designed instrument will make daily maps of polluting gases and particles known to be harmful to health.
Called Sentinel-5P, the spacecraft is a contribution to the EU's Copernicus Earth-monitoring programme.
S5P will ride to orbit on a converted Russian intercontinental ballistic missile called a Rockot.
