Meteosat Third Generation – taking over from Meteosat 11 in 2018, the last of four Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) satellites. MSG and MTG are joint projects between ESA and Eumetsat. MetOp is a series of three satellites to monitor climate and improve weather forecasting, the space segment of Eumetsat's Polar System (EPS). MetOp-A (2006– ) Europe’s first polar-orbiting satellite dedicated to operational meteorology. MetOp-B planned for 2012.

  24. A joint ESA/European Commission initiative, Global Monitoring for the Environment and Security (GMES) is the response to Europe's need for geo-spatial information services. It will provide autonomous and independent access to information for policy-makers, particularly for environment and security issues. ESA is implementing the space component: developing the Sentinel satellite series, its ground segment and coordinating data access. OBSERVING OUR PLANET FOR A SAFER WORLD

  25. TELECOMMUNICATIONS & INTEGRATED APPLICATIONS

  26. 1968 – Europe started to develop communications satellites. The Orbital Test Satellite (OTS) was launched 10 years later. OTS, and its follow-up ECS, was used for more than 13 years by ESA and Eutelsat. Olympus (1989–93) an experimental satellite, at the time of launch it was the largest civilian telecommunications satellite in the world. Artemis (2001– ) this multi-purpose telecommunications and technology demonstration satellite introduced a new range of telecommunication services to the world. A PIONEER IN TELECOMS

  27. PARTNERSHIP ARTES PROGRAMMES Hylas-1 (2010– ) the ‘Highly Adaptable Satellite’ project with Avanti, to provide broadband internet services to remote areas across Europe. Small GEO –general-purpose small geostationary satellite platform, with subsequent mission in 2012 (with Hispasat). Will strengthen position of European industry in commercial medium-sized telecoms platform market. Alphabus – multipurpose platform exploited by European industry to build future high-power communication satellites. Its first mission, Alphasat, is due for launch in 2013 (in partnership with Inmarsat). EDRS, IRIS, IAP,…

  28. NAVIGATION

  29. GALILEO: SATELLITE NAVIGATION Putting Europe at the forefront of this strategically and economically important sector, Galileo will provide a highly accurate, guaranteed global positioning service under civilian control. The full Galileo system will consist of 30 satellites and the associated ground infrastructure. Galileo is a joint initiative between ESA and the European Union. GIOVE-A (2005– ) first Galileo test satellite GIOVE-B (2008– ) validated the technologies Galileo IOV (2011/12) In-orbit Validation satellites (2+2 satellites) FOC – Full Operational Capability; opening initial services (Open Service, Search & Rescue, Public Regulated Service), 18 satellites, from 2015 onwards.

  30. LAUNCHERS

  31. The launchers developed by ESA guarantee European access to space. Their development is an example of how space challenges European industry and provides precious expertise. Ariane is one of the most successful launcher series in the world, now complemented by Vega and Soyuz, launched from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. THE EUROPEAN LAUNCHER FAMILY
