Find out how ESA’s HydroGNSS mission is already confirming in its first months of operation the value of small satellites for monitoring soil moisture, floods, ice, and biomass. We bring you an overview of GNSS reflectometry technology, the first results from orbit, and the reasons why this Scout mission is important for climate research.
Find out exactly what disrupted the Proba-3 mission and why the Coronagraph spacecraft lost contact with Earth. We bring an overview of the failure, recovery attempts, the role of the second satellite Occulter, and the importance of this ESA mission for studying the solar corona and space weather.
Find out why ESA is developing a new AI Hub in Oxfordshire for satellite communications and 6G, and how this centre could accelerate the development of safer, smarter and more resilient networks. We bring you an overview of the project’s key goals, British support and the broader European technological context.
