Featuring the power of Earth observation data at EGU
The European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2024 brings together geoscientists from all over the world, aiming to provide a forum where scientists and early career researchers can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts, in all fields of geoscience.
Celebrating ESA’s first small satellite with science success
Scientists and data users gathered at a special workshop to celebrate the end of PROBA-1’s CHRIS sensor and discuss the results of this overachieving mission.
Remote sensing data map impacts of natural hazards
As climate change increases the frequency and severity of natural disasters, remote sensing data can warn about extreme events and help tackle emergency situations.
Scientists to showcase value of Earth observation data at EGU
Remote sensing scientists are getting ready to present innovative and exciting applications of satellite data at the European Geosciences Union general assembly which will take place from 24 to 28 April in Vienna, Austria.
New cross-calibration readies PROBA-1 data for climate research
While PROBA-1 has already exceeded expectations by suppling over 21 years of Earth observation hyperspectral data, recent cross-calibration activities are aiming to ensure the data will robustly serve long time-series research, even when the satellite ends operations.
Space helps monitor Earth’s changing biosphere
Earth’s biosphere is continually changing. Through its pioneering Earth observation missions, ESA is making critical contributions to monitor these changes and their impacts on Earth’s water and carbon cycles.
PROBA-1 - From technology demonstration to long-term Earth observation
Learn about ESA's PROBA-1 (Project for On-Board Autonomy) mission in our new infographic.
An overview of ESA's Third Party Missions programme
ESA’s Third Party Missions programme consists of almost 50 satellite missions, which are owned by organisations around the world. ESA has agreements with these organisations to acquire, process, and distribute data from their missions
EDAP
The ESA Earthnet Data Assessment Pilot (EDAP) project will perform assessments for various missions to ensure the delivered data is fit for purpose.
VH-RODA and CEOS SAR workshop
The workshop provided an open forum for the presentation and discussion of current status and future developments related to the calibration and validation of space borne very high-resolution SAR and optical sensors and data products.
Earth Online Newsletter - 19 July 2024
This issue of the Earth Online Newsletter covers a selection of the latest news and events from ESA.
Living Planet Symposium 2022
Learn about the 2022 edition of ESA's Living Planet Symposium.
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.
Space and the Arctic 2009 Workshop
Temperatures in the Arctic are rising at an unprecedented rate. This workshop looked at the needs and challenges of working and living in the rapidly changing Arctic and explore how space-based services might help to meet those needs.
Topographic mapping from small satellites- a case study of CHRIS-PROBA data
This paper presents a study on the use of various empirical models for satellite orientation and terrain modelling using multidirectional CHRIS data, and evaluates the potential of small satellites with multidirectional viewing capabilities for topographic mapping.
A-comparison-of-superresolution-reconstruction-methods-for-multiangle-CHRIS-Proba-images.pdf
This paper presents the results of three superresolution methods applied to multiangular CHRIS/Proba data: three methods, namely non-uniform interpolation and de-convolution, iterative back-projection, and total variation are examined.
3rd-CHRIS-Proba-Workshop.pdf
Proceedings of the 3rd CHRIS/Proba Workshop, held from 21-23 March 2005 at ESA-ESRIN in Frascati, Italy.
EO Science for Society
ESA's Earth Observation Science for Society programme aims to promote scientific exploitation of satellite data, forges new scientific discoveries and pioneers new services, stimulating downstream industrial and economic growth.
Announcement of Opportunity for Aeolus Cal/Val
An Announcement of Opportunity call is open for the Aeolus mission. Scientists, new groups and individuals are invited to participate in Aeolus Cal/Val throughout the mission lifetime.
PROBA-1
PROBA-1 is a technology demonstration satellite that later became an operational Earth observation mission.
