ALTIUS

ALTIUS (Atmospheric Limb Tracker for Investigation of the Upcoming Stratosphere) is a satellite mission proposed by the Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy and currently under development by the European Space Agency (ESA). Its main objective is to monitor the distribution and evolution of stratospheric ozone in the Earth's atmosphere. The mission is scheduled for launch in 2027 from the Guiana Space Centre on Vega-C.

The industrial consortium is led by QinetiQ Space (now Redwire Space), acting as mission prime. The satellite design is based on the PROBA small satellite bus. The payload, developed by OIP Sensor Systems, is an innovative UV, visible, and NIR instrument. The satellite is primarily funded by Belgium, with additional support from Canada, Luxembourg, and Romania.
