Satellite Sentinel - 1 - Illustration - Artist's view of the European satellite Sentinel - 1 in orbit around the Earth. This satellite has a five-metre resolution radar, is the first of a series of satellites forming the Earth monitoring network of the Copernicus programme (formerly GMES), and together they will study the changes in the Earth's environment. The Sentinel-1 mission consists of two satellites in polar orbit. Sentinel - 1 carries an advanced synthetic aperture radar that works in several specialised modes to provide detailed imagery for Europe's Copernicus programme. These data will be used for applications such as monitoring the oceans, including shipping lanes, sea ice and oil spills. It also provides data to map changing land cover, ground deformation, ice shelves and glaciers, and can be used to help emergency response when disasters such as floods strike and to support humanitarian relief efforts at times of crisis. The SENTINEL - 1 mission comprises a constellation o

Satellite Sentinel - 3 - Artist view - Sentinel - 3 satellite - Artist view - Artist view of the European satellite Sentinel - 3 in orbit around the Earth. The first of these Earth observation satellites of the European Copernicus programme was launched on 16 February 2016. Sentinel - 3 is arguably the most comprehensive of all the Sentinel missions for Europe's Copernicus programme. It provides systematic measurements of Earth's oceans, land, ice and atmosphere to monitor and understand large - scale global dynamics and provide critical information for ocean and weather forecasting

Microsatellite TARANIS - Elves and Sprites - Artist's view - Microsatellite TARANIS - Elves and Sprites - Artist's view of the French satellite TARANIS observing Elves (halos) and Sprites (or red sylphs, or farfadets). TARANIS (for Tool for the Analysis of Radiation from LightNing and Sprites) will study in particular the light phenomena ephemeres (or TLE) that occur in the high atmosphere. Artist view of the CNES satellite TARANIS (for Tool for the Analysis of Radiation from Lightning and Sprites) watching elves and sprites. This microsatellite will study the transient luminous events (TLE) which appear in the high atmosphere

The Vatnajokull glacier, the largest glacier in Europe, is located in the southeast where the white area is more prominent. Reykjavik, the country's capital, is located in the southwest - slightly inland from the boot - shaped peninsula on the bottom left that extends out into the Atlantic Ocean. Brilliant colours of blue - green are visible swirling in the waters off the south and western coasts. These are caused by large concentrations of phytoplankton, which form the basis of the ocean's food chain and have an essential role in the global ecosystem

Within each region there are many selected fields that will be monitored in turn. The reason for the oppositely sited regions is that, because of the Earth's movement around the Sun, the sun's rays start to interfere with the observations after 150 days.

While it is looking at a star, COROT is also able to detect 'starquakes', acoustical waves generated deep inside a star that send ripples across a star's surface, altering its brightness. The exact nature of the ripples allows astronomers to calculate the star's precise mass, age and chemical composition

This satellite has a five-metre resolution radar, is the first of a series of satellites forming the Earth monitoring network of the Copernicus programme (formerly GMES), and together they will study the changes in the Earth's environment. Sentinel-1, the first in the family of Copernicus satellites, will be used to monitor many aspects of our environment, from detecting and tracking oil spills and mapping sea ice to monitoring movement in land surfaces and mapping changes in the way land is used. It will also play a crucial role in providing timely information to help respond to natural disasters and assist humanitarian relief efforts

Satellite Herschel - Illustration - Artist's view of the European satellite Herschel. The Herschel Space Observatory, scheduled to launch in 2009, will study in the infrared the formation of galaxies, stars and planetary systems. This satellite measures nearly 7 metres high by 4.3 metres wide and weighs 3.25 tonnes. Its telescope has a 3.5-meter mirror, making it the largest mirror ever made for a scientific space mission. Herschel will orbit around Lagrange 2, approximately 1.5 million kilometres from Earth. ESA's Herschel Space Observatory (formerly called Far Infrared and Submillimetre Telescope or FIRST) will solve the mystery of how stars and galaxies were born. Objects such as other planetary systems, or processes like the birth of galaxies in the early universe, can best be studied with infrared space telescopes in space. This is the reason for Esa's Herschel. ESA's Herschel Space Observatory will be bigger and better than any of its predecessors. Moreover, it will observe at wa

Great Barrier Reef in Australia from satellite - The Great Barrier Reef in Australia from satellite - The world's largest coral reef that extends off Queensland, Australia, seen by Envisat satellite on 18 May 2008. This Envisat satellite image features one of the natural wonders of the world - the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea off the east coast of Queensland, Australia. Australian researchers have discovered that Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) sensor can detect coral bleaching down to 10 m deep. This means Envisat could potentially map coral bleaching on a global scale. MERIS acquired this image on 18 May 2008, working in Full Resolution mode to yield a spatial resolution of 300 m

Allee de Von Karman - Von Karman vortices - Allee of Karman swirls in the clouds caused by the encounter between the wind and the mountain peak of Alejandro Selkirk Island (Juan Fernandez Archipelago) off Chile. False colour image obtained by Landsat 7 satellite on 15 September 1999. Each of these swirling clouds is the result of a meteorological phenomenon known as a von Karman vortex. These vortices appeared over Alexander Selkirk Island in the southern Pacific Ocean. Rising precipitously from the surrounding waters, the island's highest point is nearly a mile (1.6 km) above sea level. As wind - driven clouds encounter this obstacle, they flow around it to form large, spinning eddies. This false color image was acquired by Landsat 7 satellite on September 15, 1999

Launched on August 28, 2002, it is a geostationary satellite located 35 600 km from Earth; dedicated to meteorology, it observes the Earth in visible, and in infrared. Meteosat Second Generation (MSG), is equipped with an extremely sophisticated imaging radiometer that can separate the incoming radiation into 12 (3 with the current Meteosat) different spectral bands. Each section, four of them in the visible and eight in the thermal infrared, delivers different information. They vary from visible images of weather systems during the day to cloud temperature at night; from surface temperature and water vapour to trace gas concentrations and dust particles in the atmosphere. MSG will deliver about twenty times as much information as its predecessor Meteosat, resulting in much more accurate short and medium - range forecasts
