1. Goal meeting :
to inform each other about on-going/up-coming work related to CO TROPOMI
to see if more/stronger collaboration is possible/needed
to plan future joined actions/work (incl. possible proposals)

2. Sentinel 5 precursor COPERNICUS ATMOSPHERE MISSION IN POLAR ORBIT
The ESA Sentinel-5 Precursor (S-5P) is a pre-operational mission focussing on global observations of the atmospheric composition for air quality and climate.
The TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) is the payload of the S-5P mission and is jointly developed by The Netherlands and ESA.
The planned launch date for S-5P is 2016 with a 7 year design lifetime.
