Recent Achievements

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. |

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. |
