  • PAZ tracks the stability of critical urban infrastructure

    The impressive ability of the PAZ radar satellite to detect subtle changes in the stability of key transport infrastructure, including airport runways, bridges and railways, has been demonstrated using data delivered via ESA’s Third Party Mission’s (TPM) programme.

  • New Announcement of Opportunity offers maritime monitoring data from Unseenlabs

    ESA is offering access to radio-frequency data in a new Announcement of Opportunity for Unseenlabs. The Unseenlabs constellation currently consists of 15 satellites, which perform radio-frequency (RF) detection to enhance Maritime Domain Awareness. Data from the satellites complement Automatic Identification System (AIS), Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), and VMS (Vessel Monitoring System) technologies, improving capabilities to monitor maritime activity.
