How much data may I request in a Project Proposal?
Access to some restrained data collections distributed by ESA require submission of a Project Proposal. These collections are typically for Third Party Missions when the data provider can only offer a limited amount of data.
Spotlight on Third Party Mission provider: EUSI
European Space Imaging (EUSI) is one of ESA’s suppliers of commercial Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite imagery for scientific research in Earth Observation (EO).
Explore sample data products from Third Party Missions
ESA’s Third Party Missions programme consists of over 50 satellite missions from commercial and public organisations worldwide.
