May 7, 2013 - Congratulations to ESA on the second flight of its newest launch vehicle which carried ESA’s Proba-V satellite into orbit. Proba-V will take over for SPOT-5 next year and carries "Vegetation", a high-technology optical imager designed to provide 350 m-resolution imagery in four visible and infrared bands with an impressive 2250 km swath width.

SARAL

February 25, 2013 - Congratulations to ISRO & CNES on the recent launch of the SARAL mission. This mission complements the Jason-2 mission of NASA/NOAA and CNES/EUMETSAT and will fill the gap between Envisat and the Sentinel 3 mission of the European GMES program. The combination of two altimetry missions in orbit has a considerable impact on the reconstruction of sea surface height measurements.

February 11, 2013 - Congratulations to NASA and the USGS on the successful launch of the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM)! LDCM is the future of Landsat satellites and will obtain imagery to be used in agriculture, education, business, science, and government.  Launch video can be seen here.  The spacecraft successfully separated from the Launch vehicle and will go through an approximate 100 day test period before being renamed "Landsat 8" and handed over to USGS for operation and data acquisition.  For additional information, please go to http://landsat.usgs.gov/.
