Chi siamo

The single location where we can learn the most about our planet is found nowhere on Earth but high up above it. The need for information from satellites is growing at an ever-increasing rate. ESA is a world-leader in Earth observation and remains dedicated to developing cutting-edge spaceborne technology to further understand the planet, improve daily lives, support effective policy-making for a more sustainable future, and benefit businesses and the economy. Thanks to the satellite era we are better placed to understand the complexities of our planet, particularly with respect to global change. Today’s satellites are used to forecast the weather, answer important Earth-science questions, provide essential information to improve agricultural practices, maritime safety, help when disaster strikes, and all manner of everyday applications.

    Coral reefs create some of the ocean’s brightest patterns, visible even from space. But these ecosystems do far more than look beautiful: they support marine biodiversity, provide habitat for countless species and help protect coastlines from waves and erosion. Yet more than 75% of the world’s reefs are already considered threatened. Swipe through a few reef systems seen from orbit for World Reef Awareness Day🌍

    And so our watch begins! The launch campaign for EUMETSAT’s MTG-I2 satellite officially began yesterday, when the spacecraft left the port of Nice to start its journey to Europe’s spaceport. The satellite is travelling by boat and will embark on an ocean voyage of approximately two to three weeks. The third satellite in the MTG constellation will deliver weather images for Europe in unprecedented detail. This mission will provide entirely new data products and capabilities for European weather services, particularly for nowcasting severe weather events. It carries two advanced instruments: the Flexible Combined Imager (FCI) and the Lightning Imager. Credits: European Space Agency - ESA Thales Alenia Space ARIANESPACE

    Feeling the heat? We "see" it from space! A powerful heatwave has been gripping large parts of Europe, pushing air temperatures beyond seasonal norms. This map was created using data from the Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission’s Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer. As the instrument’s name suggests, the image reveals the temperature of the land surface, not air temperature. Unlike measurements of air temperature, this satellite instrument measures the actual thermal energy emitted from Earth’s surface, which typically registers higher than air temperatures: https://lnkd.in/d8s8bn2z 📷contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data (2026), processed by ESA

    • Map of Europe showing land surface temperatures on 26 May 2026, with a colour scale ranging from blue (cooler, below 10 °C) to dark red (very hot, above 50 °C). Large areas of Western and Southern Europe appear in orange and red, indicating high surface temperatures during a heatwave, particularly over Spain, France, Italy and the UK. Northern and northeastern regions, including Scandinavia and parts of Eastern Europe, are shown in lighter colours and blue, indicating cooler conditions. Major cities including London, Paris, Madrid, Rome and Budapest are marked.

    As the recent Copernicus ECMWF/World Meteorological Organization European State of the Climate Report shown, in 2025 wildfire burnt area and fire emissions both reached record levels in Europe with environmental, economic and social impacts. ESA Space Solutions is looking for companies/entities to apply to their “Wildfires” thematic call for proposals issued under the ACCESS Business Applications - Space Solutions (BASS) programme line. The call offers the opportunity to companies to bring forward their business propositions for the development of space-based services to support wildfire response and preparedness ⬇️
