Copernicus Sentinel-1A satellite hit by space particle
31.8.2016 16:00
ESA engineers have discovered that a solar panel on the Copernicus Sentinel-1A satellite was hit by a millimetre-size particle in orbit on 23 August. Thanks to onboard cameras, ground controllers were able to identify the affected area. So far, there has been no effect on the satellite’s routine operations.

Sentinel-1 provides new insight into Italy’s earthquake
29.8.2016 16:52
On 24 August, an earthquake struck central Italy, claiming at least 290 lives and causing widespread damage. Satellite images are being used to help emergency aid organisations, while scientists have begun to analyse ground movement.

First satellite-based wildlife monitoring tool for airports
29.8.2016 12:24
Wildlife habitats close to airports pose a serious risk to safety at takeoff and landing. Thanks to ESA, a new service lets airports use satellites to identify and manage these areas.

The Sentinel-1A satellite has given us a picture of the ground deformation caused by the 24 August earthquake in Italy
Bridging the Bosphorus

Sentinel-2A captured the progress of Turkey’s Third Bosphorus Bridge, which opens today
FLEX takes on mutants
25.8.2016 17:00
Because a plant isn’t green doesn’t mean it can’t photosynthesise as well as its more usual counterpart, but when measured by satellites, these non-green varieties skew results on plant health. FLEX is different. Experiments using ‘mutants’ show that colour won’t be an obstacle in this new mission’s task of mapping plant health from space.

Aladin wind probe ready for Aeolus
2.8.2016 16:30
It has been years in the making, but one of the trickiest pieces of space technology ever developed is finally ready to join its satellite for launch by the end of next year. With this milestone, we are another step closer to a better understanding of Earth’s winds.

Chilly summer for Sentinel-2B
18.7.2016 10:37
While most of us may be looking forward to spending some time in the sunshine this summer, the Sentinel-2B satellite is being subjected to the extreme cold of space to make sure it is fit for life in orbit.
