Envisat
|
On 1 March 2002, the European Space Agency
launched Envisat, an advanced polar-orbiting
Earth observation satellite which will
provide measurements of the atmosphere,
ocean, land, and ice over a five year
period.
The Envisat satellite has an ambitious
and innovative payload that will ensure
the continuity of the data measurements
of the ESA ERS satellites. The Envisat
data will support Earth science research,
allow monitoring of the evolution of environmental
and climatic changes, and facilitate the
development of operational and commercial
applications. |
