Multi-frequency radar data from new campaign supports sea ice monitoring
A new dataset has been released for the CIRFAEx campaign, which took place off the coast of Greenland in 2022 to support the development of the upcoming ROSE-L and Sentinel-1 Next Generation missions.
CIRFAEx
From 22 April 2022 to 12 May 2022, the Norwegian research vessel Kronprins Haakon served as base for in-situ measurements and observations of sea ice and snow properties at Belgica Bank / North-East Greenland which is a region of highly variable ice cover characteristics and frequent occurrences of icebergs.

How much data may I request in a Project Proposal?
Access to some restrained data collections distributed by ESA require submission of a Project Proposal. These collections are typically for Third Party Missions when the data provider can only offer a limited amount of data.
How do I access the ESA Third Party Mission (TPM) data?
Access ESA Third Party Mission (TPM) data by applying with 'Fast Registration with Immediate Access' or 'Fast Registration with Approval.
How to find the geographical and temporal coverage of the ESA TPM archive collections
Explore the ESA TPM archive collections, containing Earth Observation data from international partners, and learn how to discover their geographical and temporal coverage for research and pre-operational applications.
What is the ESA online On-The-Fly dissemination service?
Explore ESA's On-The-Fly dissemination service (L-OADS), featuring Third Party Missions and ESAR products enabling immediate downloads upon request with a valid EO Sign-In account.
What are the Terms of Applicability?
Essential information about data ordering, accessibility conditions, and distribution constraints for TPM EO data.

New open-source Python library improves rapid mapping services
In emergency services, rapid response is paramount. ICube-SERTIT’s Rapid Mapping Service provides near real-time delivery of geo-information to help emergency services respond quickly to disasters such as flooding, fires and landslides. A new Python open-source library, called EOReader, speeds up this mapping response by enabling the easy opening of imagery from multiple satellite sensors, both optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR).
