EO missions and exploitation
Envisat 8th year in operation, ERS-2 14 years in space
About 2600 scientific users / projects are served with Envisat and ERS-2 data
30 Third Party Missions for the benefit of European users
23rd CEOS Plenary I Phuket, Thailand I 3-5 November 2009
Envisat Extension
Envisat mission extension approved by ESA Member States in May
Envisat orbit to be changed in October 2010
Thereafter, all applications remain possible with exception of SAR interferometry

Ozone layer evolution 1995-2009
23rd CEOS Plenary I Phuket, Thailand I 3-5 November 2009
ERS-2 / Envisat Tandem campaign 2008/2009 to measure the velocity of arctic fast
moving glaciers around 200m/year
to generate accurate low relief digital elevation models - of particular interest for many low elevation delta regions (e.g. New Orleans, Po-Delta with Venice, The Netherlands, Bangladesh, Mekong Delta, Netherlands, northern Siberia, etc)
to improve the general understanding of interferometry and coherence
to rise interest in mapping fast land surface movements

GOCE (Gravity field and steady state Ocean Circulation Explorer))
First ESA Earth Explorer dedicated to the exploration of the Earth gravity field
Several satellite technology world premiers: most sensitive gradiometer ever flown, first drag-free flight with Ion thrusters, extremely low orbit
Launched 17 March 2009

GOCE mission status)
. Systems and instruments
nominal GOCE continues to decay to
operational orbit which was reached on 15 September
Air drag still very low – stabilisation of orbit at 255km
Measurement phase from 2nd half of September until March 2010
ESA’s Gravity Mission
23rd CEOS Plenary I Phuket, Thailand I 3-5 November 2009
2 launches within the next 6 months
Earth Explorers 2 and 3
23rd CEOS Plenary I Phuket, Thailand I 3-5 November 2009
All ITTs for the three selected candidate missions for the 7th Earth Explorer have been issued in July
Most of the six kick-off's are expected still within 2009.
The first round of meetings of each MAG has taken place to consolidate the Phase A Mission Requirements Document
Earth Explorer Seven

The 2010 European Space Agency Living Planet Symposium will be held in Bergen, Norway from 28 June to 2 July 2010 and organised with the support of the Norwegian Space Center
Objectives:a forum for investigators to present results of on-going research activities using ENVISAT, ERS, GOCE, SMOS, CRYOSAT and ESA Third Party missions data presenting the development of applications and services including GMES presenting the ESA Climate Change Initiative.

MTG status The first two major milestones of
completing the Phase A Extension activities and releasing the B2,C/D ITT has been completed in July, on schedule.
The next key date is the receipt of industrial offers on 2nd October and conclusion of contractor selection by the end of this year.
Meteosat Third Generation
23rd CEOS Plenary I Phuket, Thailand I 3-5 November 2009
Activities on the Sentinel-1, -2 and -3 missions is progressing well
The launch schedules have been redefined: S-1 May 2012, S-2 May 2013, S-3 April 2013
A draft Data Policy for the Sentinel missions has been approved by ESA Member States in September
Negotiations with GMES Contributing Missions are progressing
GSC
The GMES Space Component Programme
23rd CEOS Plenary I Phuket, Thailand I 3-5 November 2009
to systematically generate and distribute long-term series of “Essential Climate Variables” (ECV) to meet needs of UNFCCC and IPCC, based on ESA archived EO data
The rationale of the initiative :
The procurement plan for the Phase 1 of the Earthwatch CCI element has been approved by IPC end of September Programmatic activities are proceeding well.
