ESA cryosat 2.00
CryoSat is ESA’s (European Space Agency) firstice mission. Launched in April 2010, it provides multi-yearelevation data at latitudes never reached before by a satellitealtimeter. The satellite has sophisticated technologies todetermine variations in the thickness of polar sea ice to monitorchanges in the vast ice sheets that overlie Greenland andAntarctica.This application is a gateway to knowing what the ESA mission isabout, how it works and what the elements of the space and groundsegment that makes this mission unique are.It includes also a dedicated section that allows one to discoverand visualize real ESA CryoSat measurements over our planet: aremarkable tool for students and scientists engaged in usingCryoSat products or interested in satellite engineering.Features:- Description of the ESA CryoSat mission: space and groundsegment- Large selection of photos and videos on a wide range of topicsrelated to CryoSat- Latest mission operations news- Striking CryoSat 3D model with explanations of the differentplatform and payload elements- World map with orbit position of the ESA satellite- Satellite visibility over selected ground stations and localposition- Automatic update of the CryoSat orbit- Impressive visualization of real Cryosat measurements over theEarth with vertical profiles and easy geographicallocalization- Access to several geophysical parameters measured by thesatellite… and much moreIn the 3D environment:- swipe/pinch to rotate/zoom the scene or the satellite model- triple touch to reset position
ESA ers 2.00
ESA's two European Remote Sensing (ERS)satellites, ERS-1 and 2, were launched into the same orbit in 1991and 1995 respectively. Their payloads included a synthetic apertureimaging radar, radar altimeter and instruments to measure oceansurface temperature and wind fields.ERS-2 added an additional sensor for atmospheric ozonemonitoring. The two ESA satellites acquired a combined data setextending over two decades.This application is a gateway to knowing what the ESA mission isabout, how it works and what the elements of the space and groundsegment that makes this mission unique are.It includes also a dedicated section that allows one to discoverand visualize optical measurements over our planet.Features:- Description of the ESA ERS missions: space and groundsegment- Large selection of photos and videos on a wide range of topicsrelated to ERS missions- Striking ERS 3D models with explanations of the differentplatform and payload elements- World map with orbit position of the ESA satellite- Satellite visibility over selected ground stations and localposition- Impressive visualization of ESA ERS measurements over the Earthwith vertical profiles and with acquisition strip over theearth- Access to several geophysical parameters measured by thesatellite…and much moreIn the 3D environment:- swipe/pinch to rotate/zoom the scene or the satellite model- triple touch to reset positionIn the Data ATSR (Optical) section:- Zoom the bottom map image by pinching two fingers in or out anddrag it with one finger- The center of the blue cross is a pointer to an optical datavalue of the selected variable, in a specific point(Latitude/Longitude) at a specific date time- Position the optical stripe at the center of the map and watchthe cursor move above the earth surface

ESA EO Handbook COP21 edition 1.0
The Earth Observation Handbook for climateinformation is a free science touch-book written by the EuropeanSpace Agency and the Committee on Earth ObservationSatellites.This digital publication, like its paper version, aims to provide abroad understanding of the fundamental importance of satelliteEarth observations to the information needed to inform our climatepolicies on all scales.The digital edition is enriched by interactive and multimediaresources that can be used to further the reader’s knowledge of theconnection between space-derived data and our ability to bettermonitor, mitigate and adapt to our changing climate.
ESA Living Planet 2016 1.3
The 2016 European Space Agency Living PlanetSymposium follows the previous successful symposium held inEdinburgh in 2013.The event will be held in Prague, Czech Republic from 9 to 13 May2016 and is organised with the support of the in cooperation withthe Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Environment and Ministry ofEducation, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic and the localsupport from Charles University in Prague.This interactive App allows users to get the latest informationabout the event.
ESA Sentinel 2.3.2
The Sentinel App is a gateway to knowing theSentinel satellites. It lets users track the satellites inreal-time, discover their key elements, read the latest news andlearn more about their products.Users can, among other things, explore detailed 3D models of thesatellites, see the last and next time they have been and will beover the user's location, move the satellites to the time of thelast data transmission and smoothly move them back to their currentlocation over the 3D globe. Notifications can also be set to bewarned when the satellites are flying by.ESA is developing a series of next-generation Earth observationmissions, on behalf of the joint ESA/European Commission initiativeCopernicus (previously GMES - Global Monitoring for Environment andSecurity).The goal of the program is to replace current and older Earthobservation missions, such as ERS and Envisat, which have reachedor are close to reaching the end of their operational life span.This will ensure a continuity of data so that there are no gaps inongoing studies.Each mission will focus on a different aspect of Earth observation,such as Atmospheric, Oceanic or Land monitoring, and the data willbe of use in many applications.
AIM - Space Challenge 1.13
Oh no, the earth is in danger! An asteroidiscoming this way to destroy it. What can be done about it?It’s 2500 A.D. You are a Scientist, working at the EuropeanSpaceAgency. You came up with a plan: “Let’s travel to the pastwith atime machine and set up a space mission about asteroids.Thisprovides us with research and in that way, we can deflect thefutureasteroid from its course!”Alright then. This could work! The Director approves andthinksyou should go. You sound like the perfect candidate forthisoperation. Now, pack your bags and go!The time machine takes you back to the right year andyouradventure starts immediately.Here’s what you need to do:- Build your own Space Centre- Construct several buildings which generate coins orresearchpoints- Upgrade your buildings and perform tasks- Play a set of mini-games which follow a breakdown ofthemission- Launch the satellite into space- Reach a group of asteroids and do research on them- Gather data and information from the asteroids- Travel back to your own time with the research you have- Stop the future asteroid in its course- Save the earth!Download the game and start your mission today. Good luck!
