ESA EARTH WATCH STRATEGY OUTLOOKS L. Marelli Head of EO Earth Watch strategy
2001 1995 1991 ENVISAT ERS 2 ERS 1 Oceans Sea Ice Cryosphere Land Surface Climatology + Global Ozone + Ocean Colour + Atmospheric Constituents The last decade ……. Europe’s expanding capacity
What happen post- ENVISAT? • The ESA Living Planet Programme: • created in consultation with the key players Europe’s scientists • Industry • European Commission • EUMETSAT and many others
EARTH EXPLORER COMPONENT EARTH EXPLORERS B, C, D, E INSTRUMENT PRE- DEVELOPMENT EO PREPARATORY ACTIVITIES MISSION EXPLOITATION MARKET DEVELOPMENT EARTH WATCH DEFINITION ACTIVITIES The mission classes and the programme elements LIVING PLANET PROGRAMME Dual mission strategy, two types of user driven, complementary missions: Earth Explorer to better understand the earth Earth Watch, to initiate long term monitoring system and services EARTH WATCH: - space segment - service supply - brokerage and marketing of the service DEVELOPMENT AND EXPLOITATION COMPONENT EARTH OBSERVATION ENVELOPE PROGRAMME (EOEP)
Earth Watch • Key principles: • Synergy of commercial and institutional market • Integrated European capabilities: space, ground services • Core initial capability defined mainly by institutional market • Long term perspective required
Earth Watch • Advantages of a unique European initiative: • Space segment: commonality of components, economy of scale • Ground segment: sharing of facilities by different services • Service segment: access to institutional markets across Europe, lower cost per service, critical mass to tackle non-European markets
EARTH WATCH Background: ERS and ENVISAT as generators of applications Operational Meteorology Industry ideas ERSIS
The ENVISAT will extend and enhance the services provided by ERS and open new opportunities The Earth Watch: Background • The ERS missions initially conceived for research generated soon high value products and services demanded by the users on an operational basis.
The first ESA EO mission, Meteosat-1, 1977 would have been called Earth Watch 6 more European meteorological satellites have been placed in GEO in 20 years. Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) is in phase C/D. Activity started for Eumetsat on an Advanced Geostationary IR Sounder as alternative for post MSG-3 time The Earth Watch: Operational Meteorology Meteosat VIS 0.7 2.25 km WV 6.4 4.5 km IR 11.5 4.5 km MSG HRV 1 km IR 3.8 3 km VIS 0.6 3 km IR 8.7 ” VIS 0.8 ” IR 9.7 ” IR 1.6 ” IR 10.8 ” WV 6.2 ” IR 12.0 ” WV7.4 ” IR 13.0 ”
The first MetOp satellites are being built for the Eumetsat Polar System (EPS). The MetOp satellites already include capabilities developed under ESA research missions, OMI, ASCAT (from ERS GOME and AMI-SCAT) and GRAS (from Earth Explorer). The Earth Watch: Operational Meteorology
