  • Easy visualisation of Earth observation data with new HEDAVI tool modes

    25 June 2024

    The Discover mode in HEDAVI showcases the usefulness of Earth Observation (EO) data in a variety of applications through a list of case-studies—so-called “stories”. The first new feature allows users to share links to the stories in HEDAVI. The second new feature allows them to export any image of a case-study from the Discover mode to the Explorer mode.

  • ERS ATSR fourth Reprocessing datasets available to users

    24 May 2024

  • ESA's improved Earth system data records: what is in store for the future?

    8 Apr 2024

    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.

  • HEDAVI Discover: a step-by-step guide

    27 Mar 2024

    The Heritage Data Visualisation tool (HEDAVI) is a platform developed by the French Science Consulting for Earth Observation group, VisioTerra, which allows users to freely access over 40 years of ESA Earth Observation Heritage data, Third Party Missions and some Copernicus data.

  • Celebrating ESA’s first small satellite with science success
