to provide and promote - for exclusively peaceful
purposes - the exploitation of
  • Space science, research technology
  • Space applications

ESA achieves this through
  • Space activities and programmes
  • Long term space policy
  • A specific industrial policy
  • Coordinating European with national space
    programmes

Industrial policy
About 90 of ESA's budget is spent on contracts
with European industry.
Industrial policy objectives
  • ensure that all Member States participate in an
    equitable manner corresponding to their financial
    contribution
  • improve the worldwide competitiveness of European
    industry
  • maintain and develop space technology
  • encourage the development of an industrial
    structure appropriate to market requirements,
    making use of existing industrial potential of
    all Member States.

The birth of commercial operators
ESA is responsible for research and development
of space projects.
  • On completion of qualification, these projects
    are handed over to outside bodies for the
    production/exploitation phase.

Operational systems are transferred to new or
specially established organisations
  • Launchers Arianespace - launcher production
    phase
  • Telecommunications Eutelsat Inmarsat -
    international communications services via
    ECS/MARECS
  • Meteorology Eumetsat - Meteosat weather

ESA Earth Observation Programme
17
The quest for information about the Earth
ESA has developed the Meteosat and MSG series of
weather satellites, the environmental and climate
research and monitoring satellites ERS-1 2 and
Envisat, and prepares for the future with METOP,
to provide tools for
  • Meteorology
  • Environmental climate monitoring
  • Earth resource management
  • other applications

03/2005 - 49
18
Europe's first weather satellites
The first Meteosat was launched in 1977. Five
more followed and the seventh was launched in
1997.
Placed in geostationary orbit they are designed
to
  • Take pictures of the Earth every 30 minutes
  • Distribute meteorology data
  • Collect environmental data recorded by automatic
    ground stations

Eumetsat owns and exploits the Meteosat
satellites.

Cooperation with Eumetsat
ESA is cooperating with Eumetsat, the European
Organization for the Exploitation of
Meteorological Satellites on the development of
two new series of meteorological satellites
  • MSG (Meteosat Second Generation) is a sequence
    of geostationary meteorological satellites with
    improved performance with respect to the current
    Meteosat series. The first satellite was launched
    in August 2002.
  • METOP (Meteorological Operational Polar Orbiting
    Satellites) A European series of polar orbiting
    spacecraft. 8 instruments including Advanced Very
    High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and Advanced
    Scatterometer (ASCAT). The first launch is
    foreseen in 2006.

A radar view of the Earth ERS, ENVISAT
ERS (European Remote Sensing satellite) uses
radar instruments (SAR, radar altimeter) to
survey the Earth's surface in all weather
conditions
ERS-1 launched in 1991 finished its mission in
March 2000
A second ERS satellite (ERS-2) was launched in
1995.
  • Same missions as ERS-1
  • Additional ozone monitoring instrument (GOME)

A continuous flow of data provides information on
status and changes of
  • Ocean currents, sea surface temperatures and
    ocean winds
  • Polar ice caps ice movement
  • Atmospheric ozone

03/2005 - 53
22
ENVISAT focusing on the environment
ENVISAT is the most ambitious Earth observation
satellite ever designed in Europe and weighs over
8 tons. It was launched on 01/03/2002 by an
Ariane-5 into polar orbit at an altitude of 800
km. It carries a payload consisting of 10
instruments of advanced design, and provides
  • a smooth transition from the measurements taken
    by ERS-1 and ERS-2
  • ASAR (Advanced SAR), MERIS (Medium Resolution
    Imaging Spectrometer)
  • new data on marine biology land processed and
    atmospheric chemistry.

ENVISAT, along with ERS-2, provides a continuous
supply of services to scientists and operational
users over a period of more than 15 years
  • Crop inventories and forest management
  • Tropical deforestation
  • Biodiversity
  • Natural disasters / damage assessment (flooding,
    forest fires, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions,
    etc.)
  • Generation of digital terrain models (DTMs)
  • Ozone layer / monitoring of ozone layer depletion
    and green house effect.

Living Planet Programme looking at the Earth in
a different way
The Living Planet Programme was created in
consultation with key players
  • Europes scientists
  • Industry
  • European Commission
  • EUMETSAT and many others

It comprises Earth Explorer and Earth Watch
missions
03/2005 - 56

Earth Explorer to better understand the Earth
Earth Explorer missions
  • Research oriented, focused on specific
    topics/techniques,
  • Regular flight opportunities,
  • Lead by ESA (core missions) or other
    organisations
  • (opportunity missions).

The first approved missions
  • Core missions
  • GOCE gravity and ocean circulation explorer
    (2006),
  • ADM-Aeolus (Atmospheric Dynamics Mission)
    measures winds at all altitudes (2007).
  • EarthCARE interactions between cloud, radiative
    and aerosol processes (2012)

26
Earth Watch to initiate a long term monitoring
of the Earth
Earth Watch missions
  • (pre-)operational, service oriented
  • Partners will take responsibility for long-term
    service continuity
  • Partnership with European or national institutions

Candidate missions
  • Global Monitoring for Environment and Security
    (GMES) initiative,
  • National missions (InfoTerra-TerraSar, Pleiades,
    Cosmo SkyMed, Radarsat 2/3, Fuegosat),
  • Operational meteorology (post-MSG, post-MetOp).

Focus for the distribution of environmental
data ESA-Frascati (ESRIN) Earth Observation Data
Handling Centre
Focal point for distribution/ archiving of data
acquired via Earth stations from different
satellites
- ESA (ERS-1, ERS-2 and ENVISAT) - non-ESA
(Landsat, Tiros, JERS, MOS, etc.)
Activities also include
  • planning ERS-2 and Envisat payload use
  • interfacing with users
  • pre-processing of data and product control
  • development of quick online access to data,
    catalogues...
