  2. METEOSAT Second GenerationMSG-1, -2, -3 Meteo METEOSAT Third Generation in cooperation with EUMETSAT METOP-1, -2, -3 ERS-1, -2 ENVISAT EO missions handled by ESA 1990 2000 2010 METEOSATM-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Science to better understand the Earth ESA Earth Observation 2007 budget 14.7% = 437 M€ Applications Services to initiate long term monitoring systems and services

  3. ERS-1 and ERS-2 missions • 17 years of ERS-1/2 SAR data in the archive • ERS-2 achieved 13 years in orbit in April 2008  ERS-2 was designed for 3 years nominal lifetime ! • Ample hydrazine  ~ 50% left after 13 years • Platform preventive measures are implemented on the power system to compensate for ageing • Instruments all instruments work satisfactorily and provides useful data  Good prospect to operate ERS-2 mission until 2011

  4. ERS-2 / Envisat InSAR Tandem Exploitation of the synergy between ERS-2 and Envisat same ground track with 30 minutes time difference • ERS-2 / Envisat InSAR Tandem periods: • ERS-2 orbit is shifted by 2 km w.r.t. Envisat orbit • First period: September 07 to February 08 • Second period: November 08 to January 09

Arctic 2007 ~2200 scientific projects + several GMES pre-operational projects

  6. 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2005 approved 3-years extension 1995 ERS-2 2002 Envisat envisaged 3-years extension Sentinel-1 New orbital parameters The Envisat 3-years extension requests a modification of the orbital parameters in 2010 as the on-board hydrazine will be almost completely consumed by 2010. Envisat 3-years extension [2011-2013] • The following criteria were used to find a solution for extending Envisat beyond 2010: • to keep the current nominal mission for as long as possible (i.e. until 2010), • to extend the mission well beyond 2010, • to ensure the continuity of the max. number of Envisat applications beyond 2010, • to follow the mitigation rules for space debris risk at end of mission. Envisat extension: funding not yet granted

  7. METEOSAT Second GenerationMSG-1, -2, -3 Meteo METEOSAT Third Generation in cooperation with EUMETSAT METOP-1, -2, -3 Cryosat (2) (Polar Ice Monitoring) (Gravity and Ocean Circulation Explorer) GOCE Earth Explorers ADM/Aeolus SMOS (Soil moisture) EarthCARE SWARM ENVISAT EO missions handled by ESA 1990 2000 2010 METEOSATM-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Science to better understand the Earth ERS-1, -2 Applications Services to initiate long term monitoring systems and services

  9. Kopernikus components • Services Component • Produces information services in response to European policy priorities in environment and security • Relies on data from in-situ and space component • In-situ component • Mostly of national responsibility, with coordination at European level • Space Component – role of ESA as • development agency for dedicated infrastructure • coordinator of contributions from Member States, EUMETSAT, private and commercial partners

  10. Kopernikus pre-operational phase [2008-2011] ESA coordinates EO data access for pre-operational Kopernikus services

  11. Potential contributions to Kopernikus Space Component National, Eumetsat and Third Party Missions for Kopernikus (non exhaustive list) Radarsat SPOT Terrasar-X Pleiades METOP UK-DMC Jason-2 Cosmo Skymed RapidEye + Seosat, Tandem-X, Enmap, Venus, Altika, etc.

  12. Kopernikus dedicated missions: Sentinel-1 Sentinel-1: C-band SAR mission Sentinel-1a: launch end 2011 Sentinel-1b: foreseen 2015

  13. METEOSAT Second GenerationMSG-1, -2, -3 Meteo METEOSAT Third Generation in cooperation with EUMETSAT METOP-1, -2, -3 Cryosat (2) (Polar Ice Monitoring) (Gravity and Ocean Circulation Explorer) GOCE Earth Explorers ADM/Aeolus SMOS (Soil moisture) SWARM EarthCARE ENVISAT Sentinel satellites & National missions (e.g. SPOT, Pleiades, TerraSAR, Cosmo-Skymed, ...)

  15. Facilitating access to Earth Observation data A constant objective:  ease access to Earth Observation data • Common objective for all missions data handled by ESA: Envisat, ERS, Earth Explorers, and Third Party Missions (e.g. ALOS, SPOT-4, Kompsat-2, …) • Simplified user registration procedures for Category 1 use • Internet access to Near Real Time (NRT) data • Internet access to archived data gradually implemented (new dataset, new access systems) • Development of alternative ways to provide data (e.g. processing on demand, toolboxes)
