ERS - ESA’s first Earth observation satellites

<p>The 17 July 2021 marks the 30th anniversary of the launch of ERS-1, ESA's first dedicated Earth observation satellite. To mark the occasion, we've released a new infographic summarising the pioneering ERS missions:</p>

As New Space providers expand the global offering of remote sensing data, there is an elevated need for harmonisation in calibration and validation (Cal/Val) approaches. ESA is taking steps to bolster best practices in Cal/Val, while also fostering innovation, as set out in a workshop this October.
