Following the migration of the ESA EO dissemination server "diss-nas-fp.eo.esa.int" at F-PAC/CNES on 16 April 2014, the pwds to access the Envisat Radar Altimetry (RA2) and Precise Orbit (DORIS) data have been changed.

Due to EO Net relocation and migration of the ESA EO dissemination server at the F-PAC/CNES to a new network infrastructure, a service downtime has been scheduled from 08:30 to 13:00 CET on Wednesday 16 April 2014.

An urgent maintenance at the UK-PAC/PAF will start at 14:30 CEST on 2 April.

Twenty years of radar coverage from ESA satellites have been used to measure the rapid thinning of Antarctica's Pine Island Glacier - and it's losing more ice than previously thought.

Building on its use of satellites for responding to disasters, ESA has helped to create a service that makes flood maps available simply via the Internet.

The amount of sunlight being absorbed or reflected by Earth is one of the driving forces for weather and climate. Satellites are providing this information with unprecedented accuracy.

If you are a university student from Poland, Czech Republic or Romania and you would like to be on the space scene when the first Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellite starts monitoring the Earth next year, apply for the new ESA 'Sentinel-1 Student Transponders' project.

Ten years of satellite observations of greenhouse gases reveal that carbon dioxide in our atmosphere continues to increase despite international efforts to reduce carbon emissions. Satellites also show that recent methane increases are likely due to manmade emissions.
