.Copernicus EU #Sentinel2 provides crucial data for flood monitoring and management, enabling timely and accurate assessment of flood extent and severity through high-resolution satellite imagery.

It's official:
CryoRad, ECO, Hydroterra+ and Keystone mission ideas will go forward in the selection process to become the 12th European Space Agency's Earth Explorer.

It was a challenging decision, since all proposals address key areas of Earth sciences.

🎂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY #CryoSat ! 🎂

The sun and moon are trying to overshadow us, but we won't be eclipsed.

🥳 14 years in orbit, today!
1⃣4⃣ years of monitoring Earth's ice ❄️ water 🌊 and even the seabed floor 🌋
🎁 The gift that keeps on giving
🍾 Here's to many more!

Some images from inside OHB cleanroom where the Arctic Weather satellite is currently stored. This tiny piece of space technology has great potential & an important mission: to supply temperature and humidity data allowing, for the first time, for ‘nowcasting’ in the Arctic.
