ESA's improved Earth system data records: what is in store for the future?
Fundamental Data Records (FDRs) are instrumental in advancing our understanding of Earth systems and for addressing societal challenges effectively. These long-term records contain uncertainty-quantified, calibrated and geo-located multi-instrument/multi-platform satellite sensor data spanning several decades to support climate-related applications.
Transforming space data into climate action
ESA’s Earth observation activities are playing a key role in the revitalised global drive to combat climate change.
How Envisat helped to shape global understanding of Earth’s systems
Twenty years have passed since a ground-breaking European spacecraft designed to deliver unprecedented insight into the planet’s changing environment was lofted into orbit.
ERS Heritage Data allow for 30 years of science
At their time of launch thirty years ago, the two ERS satellites were the most sophisticated Earth observation spacecraft ever developed and launched by Europe.
ERS - ESA’s first Earth observation satellites
To mark the 30th anniversary of ERS, we've released a new infographic summarising the mission.
Copernicus Sentinel-3
Copernicus Sentinel-3 is an European Earth Observation satellite mission developed to support Copernicus ocean, land, atmospheric, emergency, security and cryospheric applications.
Announcement of Opportunity for S3VT (Sentinel-3 Validation Team)
In the framework of a Copernicus collaborative agreement ESA and EUMETSAT invite interested groups and individuals to support the Sentinel-3 Validation Team (S3VT).
Dragon 2 Cooperation Programme
The Dragon 2 Programme focussed on the exploitation of ESA, ESA's Third Party Missions and Chinese Earth observation data for science and applications development in land, ocean and atmospheric applications.

ESRIN-ERS-Central-Facility-GAP-Files-Interface-Specification.pdf
This document specifies the interface through which files of data related to the Global Activity Plan (GAP), stored in the ESRIN ERS Central Facility (EECF), are transmitted to the external entities. The EECF systems involved in this data exchange are the Interface Subset (ISS), responsible for telecommunication aspects and preprocessing, and the Central User Service (CUS), where the GAP resides.
ERS-National-and-Foreign-Stations-Operators-Working-Group.pdf
This document presents material from the ERS National and Foreign Ground Station Operators Working Group Meeting, which took place in Toulouse, France, from 14 to 15 December 1995.
Two Years of ERS-1 Data Exploitation
This bulletin reports on the first two years of the ERS-1 satellite.
A-Review-of-Mediterranean-Environmental-Management-Actions-Using-Space-Techniques.pdf
This document represents the executive review of the work performed by CTM (Centro di Telerilevamento Mediterraneo) and the National Observatory of Athens. This review has been promoted by ESA - EURISY Colloquium (Athens, 19-20 October 1998)

GOCE
ESA's Gravity field and Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) mission mapped Earth's geoid very accurately, opening a window into Earth's interior structure as well as the currents circulating within the depths of its oceans.
ERS
The ERS programme was composed of two missions, ERS-1 and ERS-2, which together observed the Earth for 20 years, from 1991 to 2011.
Land and Sea - ERS-1 Applications
The information sheets in this brochure describe just some of the many projects utilising data products and images from ERS-1.
ERS - Envisat Symposium - Looking down to Earth in the New Millennium
The abstracts from the ERS-Envisat Symposium "Looking down to Earth in the new Millennium", which took place in Gothenburg, Sweden, from 16 to 20 October 2000 are presented here.
Envisat Mission CFI Software PPF_Orbit Software User Manual
The Software User Manual (SUM) of the Envisat-1 mission CFI software is composed of a general document describing the sections common to all the CFI software libraries and a specific document for each of those libraries. This document is the PPF ORBIT Software User Manual. It provides a detailed description of the use of the CFI functions included within the PPF_ORBIT CFI software library.
