Third Party Missions
Through the Third Party Missions programme, ESA offers data from a wide range of EO satellite missions developed and operated by other agencies.
Mission - Heritage Missions
ALOS-1
The Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS-1) was a Japanese Earth-imaging satellite from JAXA.
Mission - Third Party Missions
Aura
NASA's Aura mission studies the chemistry and dynamics of Earth's atmosphere from the ground through the mesosphere.
Mission - Third Party Missions
COSMO-SkyMed
COSMO-SkyMed is an Italian Earth-imaging constellation consisting of four identical satellites which launched between 2007 and 2010.
Mission - Third Party Missions
COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation
COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation is at the forefront of radar technology, will ensure improvements and guarantee continuity with the First Generation CSK satellites, preserving the high quality and the highest precision features, both required for the interferometric activities.
Mission - Third Party Missions
COSMO-SkyMed Series
COSMO-SkyMed (COnstellation of small Satellites for the Mediterranean basin Observation) Series aims to provide global Earth observation that can be repeated several times a day in all-weather conditions.
Mission - Heritage Missions
DMC First Generation
The Disaster Monitoring Constellation (DMC) is a constellation of microsatellites formerly coordinated by DMCii to provide frequent observations of the Earth for monitoring natural disasters.
Mission - Third Party Missions
FSSCat
The FSSCat mission was an innovative concept that consisted of two federated 6-Unit Cubesats, called ³Cat-5/A and ³Cat-5/B, which operated in support of the Copernicus Land and Marine Environment services.
Mission - Third Party Missions
GeoEye-1
At the time of its launch, GeoEye-1 was the world's highest-resolution commercial Earth-imaging satellite.
Mission - Heritage Missions
GEOSAT
The GEOSAT series consists of GEOSAT-1 and GEOSAT-2 missions. They are Earth imaging satellites. GEOSAT-2, a high resolution satellite, became the first European fully-private satellite capable of providing sub-metric multi-spectral imagery.
Mission - Heritage Missions
GEOSAT-1
GEOSAT-1 is part of a group of satellites collectively known as the Disaster Monitoring Constellation (DMC).
Mission - Heritage Missions
GEOSAT-2
GEOSAT-2 is the second satellite of the Deimos Earth Observation system, following GEOSAT-1.
Mission - Third Party Missions
GHGSat
The GHGSat mission is dedicated to measuring emissions of greenhouse gases.
Mission - Third Party Missions
GOSAT Series
The GOSAT series is composed of two environment-monitoring satellites developed by JAXA dedicated to the observation of greenhouse gases.
Mission - Third Party Missions
GOSAT-2
GOSAT-2 (Greenhouse gases Observing Satellite-2) is a JAXA satellite dedicated to the observation of greenhouse gases.
Mission - Heritage Missions
GRACE
GRACE stands for the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment and was a part of the international Earth Observing System (EOS) series of satellites.
Mission - Third Party Missions
ICEYE
As of June 2023, 27 X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites have been launched for the ICEYE constellation. This enables all-weather Earth observation.
Mission - Heritage Missions
IKONOS-2
At the time of its launch, IKONOS-2 brought imagery rivalling that of military satellites to the commercial market.
Mission - Heritage Missions
IRS-1C
IRS-1C is part of the IRS (Indian Remote Sensing) satellites, a large family of Earth observation satellites operated by ISRO.
Mission - Heritage Missions
IRS-1C and IRS-1D
The Indian Remote Sensing satellites IRS-1C and IRS-1D were identical Earth-imaging satellites operated by the Indian Space Research Organisation.
