Register now for the RUS Oil spill mapping with Sentinel-1 webinar taking place on Tuesday 15 May 2018 from 14.30 to 16:00 CEST. 

The Oil spill mapping with Sentinel-1 webinar will illustrate:

• how to access the RUS Service
• how to download, process, analyse and visualise the free data acquired by the Copernicus satellites
• the methodology to map an area affected by oil spill pollution, using ESA SNAP Sentinel-1 Toolbox.

We would like to remind the users that the application submission deadline for EO Summer School is on 01 May.

Please apply through the course website.

Due to a scheduled maintenance, access to the On-The-Fly (OTF) Online Dissemination System (OADS) for the ERS and Envisat (A)SAR data will be unavailable during the following time frame:

ESA through its Earthnet Third Party Mission (TPM) programme is launching an ad-hoc call for  R&D applications with high resolution Digital Surface Model (DSM) products based on CartoSat-1 data.

The call for proposals is now open and will close on 25 May 2018.

An orbit collision avoidance manoeuvre was performed on Swarm Bravo on 16 April 2018 at 16:10 UTC for a duration of 96 secomds equivalent to a Delta V = 2 cm/s.

The European Space Agency is organising 'EO4Alps' - The Alps from Space Workshop, which will take place from 27 to 29 June 2018 at the Villa Blanka Conference Center, in Innsbruck, Austria.

Users interested in participating still have until the 30 April 2018 to submit an abstract.

Due to an anomaly that occurred on the VFM (Vector Field Magnetometer) on board Swarm Charlie, the VFM science data (at 50 Hz rate) was not received from 13/04/2018 19:18 UTC to 16/04/2018 09:21 UTC.

From 16 April to 30 June 2018, public or private organisations involved in developing innovative applications based on Earth Observations (EO) and located in European GEO member countries are invited to come forward with voluntary Expressions of Intent for networking along the value chain.

The European Space Agency (ESA) is organising a Φ-week event at ESRIN in Frascati, Italy from 22 to 26 October 2018. The event will focus on EO Open Science and FutureEO - to review the latest developments in Open Science trends and kick-start innovative activities of the recently created Φ-department. This new department is looking at FutureEO, and its associated Φ-lab aims to identify, support and scale bold EO ideas.

Please note that the abstract submission deadline has been extended to 01 May 2018, providing you with additional time to submit your paper.

The first models of the fourth release of Swarm magnetic field models are now available to users. The new models are based on improved Swarm magnetometer data (MAGx_LR_1B data products, baseline 05, version 03), covering the period from launch to the end of 2017, i.e. one additional year in comparison to the previous release.
