Abstract

Technical and scientific studies were performed on FLEX-fluorescence explorer mission project. Detecting vegetation fluorescence from space would provide new insight on terrestrial biosphere response to climate variability, and help quantifying atmospheric carbon sequestration. Remote sensing of natural fluorescence from a space platform has been shown technically feasible.
