MISSIONS
Explore the European Space Agency's Earth Observation satellite missions. Learn all about ESA's dedicated Earth Explorers or collaborations with other agencies through the Third Party Missions programme.
Mission - Earth Explorers
GOCE
Explorer (GOCE) mission mapped Earth's geoid very accurately, opening a window into Earth's interior structure as well as the currents
Mission - Heritage Missions
Seasat
The instrument had the objectives of the determination of sea surface profiles, currents, wind speeds and wave heights.
Mission - Heritage Missions
SAR (ERS) Processor Releases
It should be noted that for SAR, each product ordered is processed directly from the raw data, using the current version
Mission - Heritage Missions
PALSAR
A small percentage of ALOS-1 PALSAR products processed by the current installed ESA IPF are affected by a known quality issue
Mission - Heritage Missions
PALSAR Processor Releases
The current ALOS-1 PALSAR IPF integrated within the ESA On-The-Fly system is v4.16p9, installed on 24 January 2017.
Mission - Earth Explorers
GOCE Objectives
Thanks to this current, the coastal waters of Europe are 4°C warmer than waters at equivalent latitudes in the north Pacific
Mission - Heritage Missions
Seasat Objectives
wealth of information on diverse ocean phenomena such as sea-surface winds and temperatures, surface and internal waves, currents
Mission - Heritage Missions
RA (ERS)
the RA provided information on significant wave height; surface wind speed; sea surface elevation, which relates to ocean currents
Mission - Heritage Missions
SAR (ERS)
Processor Releases It should be noted that for SAR, each product ordered is processed directly from the raw data, using the current
Mission - Earth Explorers
EGG
This opened a window into Earth's interior structure, as well as the currents circulating within the depths of its oceans
Mission - Heritage Missions
ERS Radar Course 1
Therefore, microwaves easily penetrate clouds, and images can be acquired independently of the current weather conditions
Mission - Earth Explorers
SSTI ANTEX Data
data were generated from 154 days in 2009 GOCE SSTI-B PCVs data were generated from the available data in 2010-2012 The current
Mission - Heritage Missions
GOCE re-entry dataset
with further dynamical and environmental information such as on-board magnetometer measurements of Earth's magnetic field, currents
Mission - Earth Explorers
GOCE Overview
height mapped by altimeters and the knowledge of the precise ocean geoid that has improved our understanding of surface currents
