FLuorescence EXplorer (FLEX): Remote sensing data on solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) collected on the ground and from the air

FLuorescence EXplorer (FLEX) is a satellite that will provide new insights into photosynthesis of vegetation from 2026 onwards. The FLEX mission uses the measurement of sun-induced fluorescence (SIF) to provide the current photosynthesis of our vegetation with a high temporal and spatial resolution globally available. The German FLEX project office is managed by Forschungszentrum Jülich, in cooperation with the German Aerospace Center (DLR). The task of the project office is to bring German scientists and companies closer to the possibilities of using the FLEX satellite data, to develop scientific and commercial usage concepts and to provide a contact point for European and international synergistic activities.
