Third Party Missions data contribute to success of ESA's Global Development Assistance
ESA's GDA is the Global Development Assistance programme, implemented in partnership with International Financial Institutions, to mainstream Earth Observation (EO) technology in global development operations by responding directly to their operational requirements and needs of stakeholders in developing countries.
Spotlight on Third Party Mission provider: Airbus
Airbus' space technologies have a growing impact on people's daily life: from deep-space exploration and scientific missions, to today's most reliable secure telecommunications and Earth observation (EO) satellites.
How ESA's Third Party Missions support European commercialisation
ESA's Third Party Missions programme consists of Earth observation satellites that are owned by commercial and public organisations around the world.
Meet the future of Earth Observation: Super-Resolution Data
SUREDOS24 (Super-Resolution and Downscaling for Earth Observation and Earth Science) - provided a deep dive into how recent SR techniques are leveraging deep learning and artificial intelligence to push the boundaries of remote sensing.
How much data may I request in a Project Proposal?
Access to some restrained data collections distributed by ESA require submission of a Project Proposal. These collections are typically for Third Party Missions when the data provider can only offer a limited amount of data.
How to use space data to probe humankind’s ancient past
Data disseminated by ESA’s Third Party Missions (TPM) programme are enabling archaeological investigations that could help to unravel the mysteries of past societies and cultures.
The OneAtlas Data Download is now available for Pléiades Neo
In the framework of the Earthnet’s Third Party Missions programme, ESA announces that now Pléiades NEO data is also available through the OneAtlas Data Download subscription option, together with the already offered SPOT 6/7 and Pléiades data.
Tracking the world’s forests from space
As human activities continue to threaten the planet’s forests, data delivered by satellites are boosting global efforts to conserve these crucial natural resources.
Commercial and international data for fire monitoring
As climate change sparks a surge in the frequency and intensity of wildfires, satellite data disseminated through ESA’s Third Party Missions (TPM) programme are helping scientists to track and investigate these potentially damaging natural events.
An overview of the Pléiades Neo mission
Pléiades Neo is a constellation of two very high-resolution satellites, launched in 2021, which were created to follow on from the Pléiades mission.
How satellite data empower sustainable urban growth
Earth observation is a vital tool for facilitating the sustainable development of the world's cities, helping to ensure that urban centres keep spurring collaboration, innovation and opportunity as they continue to expand.
Monitoring water on Earth's surface
ESA's Earth observation satellites are playing a leading role in furthering our understanding of how Earth's terrestrial hydrosphere is being influenced by humankind.
International collaboration: Summarising ESA’s Third Party Missions
ESA’s Third Party Missions programme consists of more than 50 missions from around the world. Learn more about the Third Party Missions in this video.
Global understanding of Earth's land surfaces greatly boosted by satellite data
ESA perform land surface monitoring with a range of instruments onboard satellites acquiring optical and radar data. Collections of data from these missions are freely available for research purposes.
How satellite data help to shape society
Data from ESA’s Earth observation archives are improving understanding of the interactions between human activities and the environment, helping to power green economic development and boosting prosperity in Europe and beyond.
Satellites reveal changes to Earth’s icy zones
ESA’s Earth observation activities are helping scientists investigate the influence of climate change on widespread ice-losses across the planet.
Living Planet Symposium 2022
Learn about the 2022 edition of ESA's Living Planet Symposium.
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.
Pléiades Neo captures ESA Team Day event
At the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC), about 2000 staff created a human formation of the ESA logo and it was captured by Pléiades Neo high resolution optical satellite.
Highlights from Living Planet Symposium
As remote sensing scientists and data-users from around the world converged at the Living Planet Symposium (LPS) in Bonn recently, a common thread was evident in many scientific sessions and meetings – the right environmental data can accelerate our understanding of the rapid changes in Earth’s system.
