WALES - Water Vapour Lidar Experiment in Space
This report describes the WALES mission, one of the candidate Earth Explorers in the second cycle in 2001.
UV nadir viewing galleries
Atmospheric chemistry nadir observation from space now spans nearly forty years. The early UVN (UV nadir missions) mainly focused on measuring ozone.
Updated Precise Orbit data (POD) for the full ERS-1 and ERS-2 mission available
The Precise Orbit files (ERS.ORB.POD) for the entire ERS-1 and ERS-2 mission periods have been reprocessed with up-to-date standards.
Understanding climate change from space
This document describes ESA's Climate Change Initiative, and how it is intended to contribute towards monitoring and understanding the Earth's climate.
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.
Trailblazing ERS-2 mission enables climate change applications
As ESA’s ERS-2 satellite approaches Earth’s atmosphere for reentry, it’s time to reflect on the mission’s great achievements in powering climate-related applications.
Towards More Efficient Use of Radar-Altimeter Data
Twenty years ago, experimental altimeters on NASA's Skylab and Geos-3 were already demonstrating the potential of such instrumentation. This led in turn to the development and launch by NASA in July 1978 of the Seasat oceanographic satellite mission. Both Geos-3 and Seasat were very successful in their pioneering missions, but were limited somewhat by poor coverage in the case of Geos-3 and an abnormally short mission duration in Seasat's case.
Third ESA International Conference on Spacecraft Guidance, Navigation and Control Systems
The proceedings from the Third ESA International Conference on Spacecraft Guidance, Navigation and Control Systems, which took place at ESTEC in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, from 26 to 29 November 1996, are presented here.

The-CEOS-Earth-Observation-Handbook-2008.pdf
This report presents the main capabilities of satellite Earth observations, their applications, and a systematic overview of present and planned Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) agency Earth observation satellite missions and their instruments. It also explores society's increasing need for information on our planet. This edition has a particular focus on climate change.
The Science and Research Elements of ESA Living Planet Programme
This document presents the plans for the Earth Explorer element of the European Space Agency's 'Living Planet' Programme for Earth Observation.
