Falcon 9 rocket launches Czech TROLL satellite into space

A new view of the Czech Republic and the rest of the planet will be brought by the TROLL satellite manufactured by the Brno-based space company TRL Space. Thanks to its hyperspectral camera, it will “see” where ordinary satellites cannot, and thus reveal previously hidden phenomena such as agricultural crop diseases or the risk of cracks in glaciers. The satellite will blast off into space on a SpaceX rocket from controversial billionaire Elon Musk at 7:49pm CET on January 14.
