Due to a major systems upgrade, SMOS production will be interrupted from 07 June 2023 at 08:30 UTC and is expected to resume nominal production on 07 June 2023 at 17:00 UTC.

SMOS production interruption on Wednesday 7 June 2023

A maintenance activity is scheduled for several EO websites on the 6 June.

Several innovative ESA Discovery element projects exploring remote sensing of plastic marine litter lean on commercial satellite data disseminated via the Agency’s Third Party Mission programme.

TPM data help advance plastic litter detection from space

The need for easy access to remote sensing data and making them more digestible to the local user community, were take home messages from the first Global Space Conference on Climate Change (GLOC), held in Oslo, Norway, last week.
