NASA's AURA satellite peers into Earth's ozone hole
NASA researchers, using data from the agency's AURA satellite, determined the seasonal ozone hole that developed over Antarctica this year is smaller than in previous years. view more (2005-12-07)
Set your own course for the stars
To get around, satellites sailing through space use the same tools that ancient mariners used to navigate the inhospitable oceans - the stars. However, soon, instead of sending back details of their position to experts here on Earth, spacecraft will be able to calculate and adjust their course all by themselves. ESA now has special software that... view more... (2002-11-12)
PROBA images available on web
ESA`s first small satellite PROBA for in-orbit technology demonstration is now well under way and turning out great pictures of the Earth. "We are very happy with PROBA and the results from this small satellite. It has now been in orbit for eight months and platform, instruments and ground segment are performing well," says Frederic Teston,... view more... (2002-07-03)
Arctic sea ice continues decline as temperatures rise
New satellite records monitored by a national team of collaborators show a four-year pattern of extremely low summer sea-ice coverage in the Arctic that continued in September 2005, which may be the result of warming temperatures and earlier spring melting. view more (2005-09-29)
Warming climate may put chill on arctic polar bear population
Some travel agencies touting Arctic tours have been revving up their recent promotions to tourists about the increased likelihood they will spot polar bears in this region where several populations of polar bears live. view more (2006-09-14)
ESA satellite imagery credited with breakthrough in earthquake research
California scientists credit synthetic aperture radar imagery from the European Space Agency with making possible new ways to depict earthquake fault zones and uncovering unusual earthquake-related deformations. Their study of imagery from a 1999 earthquake in the western US could provide a new way to identify active faults and help track when the... view more... (2002-09-19)
ESA welcomes conclusions of the Barcelona European council on Galileo
"Space can do a lot for European citizens. Our global satellite navigation system Galileo is now only a step away from taking wing and fly high", said Antonio Rodot' , the Director General of the European Space Agency, welcoming the conclusions of the European Council held on 15 and 16 March in Barcelona, and echoing the appreciation expressed by... view more...

Researchers Identify Driver for Near-Earth Space Weather
New findings indicate that the aurora and other near-Earth space weather are driven by the rate at which the Earth's and Sun's magnetic fields connect, or merge, and not by the solar wind's electric field as was previously assumed. view more (2006-12-12)
Baja California Residents Should Prepare for Hurricane Rick
Based on computer forecast models, the residents of southern and central Baja California should prepare over the weekend for now Tropical Storm Rick. Rick formed late yesterday, October 15, and is expected to become a major hurricane over the weekend. view more (2009-10-19)
Satellite data look behind the scenes of deadly earthquake
Using satellite radar data and GPS measurements, Chinese researchers have explained the exceptional geological events leading to the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake that killed nearly 90 000 people in China's Sichuan Province. view more (2009-10-16)
Dissapearing arctic lakes linked to climate change
Continued arctic warming may be causing a decrease in the number and size of Arctic lakes. The issue is the subject of a paper published in the June 3 issue of the journal "Science." The paper, titled, "Disappearing Arctic Lakes" is the result of a comparison of satellite data taken of Siberia in the early 1970s to data from... view more... (2005-06-06)
Huge waves that hit Reunion Island tracked from space
The origin and movement of waves reaching up to 11 metres that devastated France's Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean on Saturday evening have been detected with ESA's Envisat satellite.

Galileo to support global search and rescue
The detection of emergency beacons will be greatly improved by the introduction of Europe's satellite positioning system, Galileo. The Galileo satellites will carry transponders to relay distress signals to search and rescue organisations. view more (2007-08-10)
NASA data link pollution to rainy summer days in the southeast
Rainfall data from a NASA satellite show that summertime storms in the southeastern United States shed more rainfall midweek than on weekends. Scientists say air pollution from humans is likely driving that trend. view more (2008-02-04)
NASA Satellites Measure and Monitor Sea Level
For the first time, NASA has the tools and expertise to understand the rate at which sea level is changing, some of the mechanisms that drive those changes and the effects that sea level change may have worldwide. view more (2005-07-11)
Venerable ultraviolet satellite returns to operations
NASA's Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer astronomy satellite is back in full operation, its aging onboard software control system rejuvenated and its mission extended by enterprising scientists and engineers after a near-death experience in December 2004. view more (2006-02-24)
Entekhabi will lead science team for NASA satellite mission to map Earth's water cycle
MIT Professor Dara Entekhabi will lead the science team designing a NASA satellite mission to make global soil moisture and freeze/thaw measurements, data essential to the accuracy of weather forecasts and predictions of global carbon cycle and climate. view more (2008-04-29)
The first Envisat check-up on the Earth
A major new health check on the Earth got under way on 1 March, when the European Space Agency's Envisat satellite was launched by an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe's spaceport in French Guiana. It is the largest and most sophisticated Earth observation satellite ever built. Following the launch and deployment of the solar panel and antennas, the... view more... (2002-03-28)
Satellites witness lowest Arctic ice coverage in history
The area covered by sea ice in the Arctic has shrunk to its lowest level this week since satellite measurements began nearly 30 years ago, opening up the Northwest Passage - a long-sought short cut between Europe and Asia that has been historically impassable. view more (2007-09-17)
New evidence that global warming fuels stronger Atlantic hurricanes
Atmospheric scientists have uncovered fresh evidence to support the hotly debated theory that global warming has contributed to the emergence of stronger hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean. view more (2007-03-01)
