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
SIRAL
Access is provided to all CryoSat systematic data acquired according to the current geographical mode mask.
Mission - Earth Explorers
ALADIN
Aeolus Quality Control Reports on L1B/Instrument, L2A and L2B products are currently available to Aeolus Cal/Val teams and
Mission - Heritage Missions
Seasat
The instrument had the objectives of the determination of sea surface profiles, currents, wind speeds and wave heights.
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 - Third Party Missions
ICEYE
Currently, the satellites operate in five modes called 'Strip Mode', 'Spot Mode', 'Scan Mode', 'Spot Extended Area (SLEA)
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 - Earth Explorers
Aeolus
This is currently the only technology that can provide direct wind profile observations in clear air, inside thin clouds
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 - Third Party Missions
Spire Overview
It currently commercialises its platform on a "Space-as-a-Service" offering with aerospace and defence customers.
Mission - Earth Explorers
Aeolus Overview
Currently, the global distribution of conventional wind profile measurements is not homogenous and mainly located over land
Mission - Heritage Missions
ERS Overview
global scale, the two ERS satellites expanded our understanding of the interaction between the oceans and atmosphere, ocean 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
Mission - Earth Explorers
SMOS Overview
Mission Background The SMOS mission is a direct response to the current lack of global observations of soil moisture and

CryoSat Overview
redundant Solid-State Recorder, total capacity 256 Gbits Ground Segment CryoSat ground segment The CryoSat ground segment is currently
Mission - Earth Explorers
CryoSat Objectives
The density increase causes the surface waters to sink – in essence acting as a pump, driving cold, deep ocean currents from
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 - Earth Explorers
SMOS Objectives
SMOS Science The SMOS mission is a direct response to the current lack of global observations of soil moisture and ocean
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 - 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
