Agriculture and Space: What Capabilities Can Satellites Bring?
Satellites enable the digital capture of vast and diverse agricultural data, which are essential for modern farming. By providing a comprehensive view of Earth's surface, satellites contribute invaluable information on crop health, soil moisture, and vegetation.
Meet the future of Earth Observation: Super-Resolution Data
SUREDOS24 (Super-Resolution and Downscaling for Earth Observation and Earth Science) - provided a deep dive into how recent SR techniques are leveraging deep learning and artificial intelligence to push the boundaries of remote sensing.
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.
Spotlight on Third Party Mission provider: EUSI
European Space Imaging (EUSI) is one of ESA’s suppliers of commercial Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite imagery for scientific research in Earth Observation (EO).

Sample data products from ESA’s Third Party Missions
Samples of data products from a range of Third Party Missions are now available to download, offering a preview of what these missions provide.
Space data support Earth’s ecosystems
ESA’s Earth observation (EO) missions are making a critical contribution to monitoring transformations in our planet’s ecosystems, helping track changes in the vegetation, soil, and ocean that affect these systems.
How scientists use space data to help advance the energy transition
Scientists are using remote sensing data disseminated by ESA to support the green transformation of world’s power generation infrastructure.
Showcasing success stories from ESA's Third Party Missions
ESA’s Third Party Missions programme consists of more than 50 missions from around the world.
Global understanding of Earth's land surfaces greatly boosted by satellite data
ESA perform land surface monitoring with a range of instruments onboard satellites acquiring optical and radar data. Collections of data from these missions are freely available for research purposes.
Remote sensing scientists raise alarm for African savannah
Researchers have used high resolution WorldView-3 imagery to map vegetation cover in the Greater Maasai Mara savannah, a global hotspot for biodiversity in Kenya.
How satellite data help to shape society
Data from ESA’s Earth observation archives are improving understanding of the interactions between human activities and the environment, helping to power green economic development and boosting prosperity in Europe and beyond.

Satellites reveal changes to Earth’s icy zones
ESA’s Earth observation activities are helping scientists investigate the influence of climate change on widespread ice-losses across the planet.
WorldView-3 helps to track offshore methane plumes from oil and gas
Scientists have used Earth observation data to reveal enormous methane plumes spilling out from an offshore oil and gas production rig in the Gulf of Mexico. This represents a significant breakthrough in the monitoring of industrial methane emissions from space.

This brochure summarises ESA's Third Party Missions programme, providing a timeline and examples of content related to some of the missions.
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).
