    Introducing the Smile mission | Let’s Smile (episode 1)

    Smile is the Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer, a brand-new space mission currently in the making. It will study space weather and the interaction between the solar wind and Earth’s environment.

    Unique about Smile is that it will take the first X-ray images and videos of the solar wind slamming into Earth’s protective magnetic bubble, and its complementary ultraviolet images will provide the longest-ever continuous look at the northern lights.

    In this first of several short videos, David Agnolon (Smile Project Manager) and Philippe Escoubet (Smile Project Scientist) talk about the why and the how of Smile. You’ll see scenes of the building and testing of the spacecraft’s payload module by Airbus in Madrid, including the installation of one of the European instruments, the Soft X-ray Imager from the University of Leicester.

    Smile is a 50–50 collaboration between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). ESA provides the payload module of the spacecraft, which carries three of the four science instruments, and the Vega-C rocket which will launch Smile to space. CAS provides the platform module hosting the fourth science instrument, as well as the service and propulsion modules.

  • Introducing the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem

    Introducing the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem

    The Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem offers immediate access to a wide range of open and free Earth observation data and services. Following from the success of the current Copernicus Data Hub distribution, the new service ensures continuity and extends the portfolio for data access and data processing possibilities.

    The Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem represents a significant leap forward in the way users can access and work with Earth observation data. The service aims to further improve access and exploitation of the Copernicus satellites data.

    Discover more about the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem and access the data via https://dataspace.copernicus.eu.

  • Introducing NASA’s NEW Earth System Observatory

    Introducing NASA’s NEW Earth System Observatory

    NASA is introducing the Earth System Observatory – an array of satellites, instruments and missions that are going to collect a series of critical observations. These observations will better inform us of how our planet is changing with greater precision on unimaginable scales – from entire continents down to individual trees.

    Each mission in itself will deliver important environmental measurements. Taken together, as a single Observatory, we will have a holistic, 3-dimensional understanding of our Earth’s systems – how they work together, how one change can influence another.

  • Introducing NASA Explorers: Apollo, an Audio Series

    Introducing NASA Explorers: Apollo, an Audio Series

    NASA Explorers: Apollo is an audio series that tells stories of the Moon and the people who explore it. During the Apollo program, the Moon became a part of the human domain. Twelve astronauts walked on the lunar surface, conducted research there and collected Moon rocks to bring back to Earth for study. Fifty years after humanity’s first steps on the Moon, today’s lunar scientists are searching for answers to the big questions: How did the Moon form? How did our solar system evolve? Did the Moon help life on Earth get its start?

    Meet a Moon detective, scientists who study space rocks and people from all over the world whose lives were shaped by the epic adventures of the Apollo program. You can listen to NASA Explorers: Apollo on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Google Play and Facebook Watch.

    You can find the series, soundtrack, artwork, and more here: https://www.nasa.gov/nasa-explorers-apollo

  • Introducing Sentinel-5P

    Introducing Sentinel-5P

    The preparations of ESA’s latest Earth observation satellite Sentinel-5P, also known as Sentinel-5 Precursor, are finished, and the satellite has been shipped to the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia for launch in October 2017.

    Sentinel-5P will ensure continued data is gathering on Earth’s atmosphere and is the intermediary satellite to fill the gap between the past generation of atmospheric monitoring satellites and the future generation of Sentinel-4 and 5, which will be launched early in the next decade. Sentinel-5P is part of Copernicus,the world’s largest environmental monitoring programme which is operated bythe European Commission.

    This video contains interviews with: Josef Aschbacher, ESA Director of Earth observation programmes, Kevin McMullan, ESA Sentinel-5P Project Manager and Claus Zehner, ESA Sentinel-5P Mission Manager

  • Introducing the GOCE Earth Explorer satellite

    Introducing the GOCE Earth Explorer satellite

    To achieve its crucial scientific objectives, ESA’s ‘Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer’, or GOCE, satellite must orbit as low as possible, in order to sense minute variations in the Earth’s gravitational field – at the edge of space and the limits of the atmosphere at only 268 km!
