Success for the first trans-african flight with EGNOS
A pioneering flight from Dakar to Mombasa using the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS), the European satellite navigation system that corrects and improves GPS data, was a complete success. Africa was crossed at its widest part with a plane using this accurate and guaranteed positioning system provided by the EGNOS test... view more... (2005-05-25)
Artemis finally reaches operational orbit
ESA PR 07-2003. Artemis has finally reached geostationary orbit, some 36 000 km above the Earth, at 21.5°E. This announcement would, if all had gone to plan, been made just a few days after lift-off on 12 July 2001. Now, eighteen months and some serious brainstorming further on, the most advanced ESA telecommunications satellite ever... view more... (2003-01-31)

NASA and NOAA'S GOES-14 satellite takes first full disk image
The latest Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite, GOES-14, provided its first visible full disk image of Earth on July 27, at 2:00 p.m. EDT. The prime instrument on GOES, called the Imager, is taking images of Earth with a 1 kilometer (km) or 0.62 mile resolution from an altitude of 36,000 km (22,240 miles) above Earth's surface,... view more...

ESA is helping to make road transport more effective
Space is the usual business of a space agency, so it may come as a surprise that the European Space Agency (ESA) is giving some attention to road transport. The agency is designing and building the satellites that will make up the space segment of Galileo, Europe`s own global satellite navigation system. When Galileo becomes fully operational in... view more... (2002-10-02)
Flawless launch of a super Meteosat
Almost 25 years after the November 1977 launch of the very first Meteosat, the first representative of the next generation (MSG-1) of European weather satellites has been placed in orbit and is being made ready to lend new dimensions to the monitoring of our planet`s climate. On 28 August at 1945h local time (2245h GMT), a European Ariane-5... view more... (2002-08-29)

Scientists Detect Thinning West Antarctic Ice.
A major glacial formation in Antarctica is shrinking, a report in SCIENCE will reveal today. But questions still remain about the speed at which ice sheet thinning is taking place. Scientists at University College London (UCL) and the British Antarctic Survey have used satellite data to show that the interior of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS)... view more... (2001-01-29)
Perfect images transmitted via a laser link between Artemis and SPOT 4
ESA PR 75-2001. On 30 November, the first-ever transmission of an image by laser link from one satellite to another took place. The system, called SILEX, consists of the Opale terminal on Artemis and the Pastel terminal on the SPOT 4 satellite. It was designed in close cooperation between the European Space Agency (ESA), the French space agency... view more... (2001-12-06)
