🚨Last call! 👏 For the third time, #ESA offers an ESA Mission Operations Hands-On Experience unique 4-day course to bring to life the fascinating world of spacecraft operations with its unique challenges and need for excellent teamwork. 🔎 This course provides an insight into the secrets of ESA Space Mission Operation’s success, and it will be delivered through lectures by ESA experts specialised in the different mission operations domains. 🖥️ In addition to the lectures, the participants will gain hands-on experience in mission operations and will be able to immediately apply their gained knowledge during a challenging team simulation set in ESOC’s famous Main Control Room, the heart of ESA mission operations. This intensive technical course focuses on sharing ESA's vast know-how and expertise in operations with the participants. It is pitched towards professionals of all disciplines who want to quickly acquire a feeling for the broad spectrum of disciplines involved in space mission operations. ✨ We look forward to welcoming you to the ESA Mission Operations Academy! The registration will close on January 20th, 12:00 hrs CET. Register now 👉 https://lnkd.in/e7UCMEew ESA Operations, Engineering & Space Safety

🌍 Exploring Novel Earth Observation (EO) Datasets for Copernicus CLMS! The final version of the EO Missions Catalogue relevant to EvoLand is now available! Authored by EvoLand partners Centre National d'Études Spatiales, this document delves into EO datasets, offering a glimpse into how they could enhance the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS) in the future. 💡 What’s covered? 📸 VHR Optical Missions for 3D products 🌲 Spaceborne Lidar Sensors for forest canopy insights. 📡 L-band & P-band SAR for forest biomass estimates. 🌊 Ka-band Altimeter SWOT for water bodies mapping. 🌡️ Thermal IR & Hyperspectral Data for urban mapping. These datasets hold immense potential for improving workflows and unlocking new CLMS products in EvoLand’s demonstrators. 🌟 Dive into the full details here: https://lnkd.in/d58TVi4x #EvoLand #HorizonEurope #EarthObservation #Innovation #Copernicus #CLMS #GeospatialData #LandMonitoring European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) Evenflow VITO Remote Sensing GAF AG CLS Group (Collecte Localisation Satellites) CESBIO German Aerospace Center (DLR) Sinergise International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) JOANNEUM RESEARCH Centre National d'Études Spatiales

Look What happens when Earth Observation meets global collaboration for development❓ 💫 Last week’s ESA GDA Industry Engagement Day showcased exactly that — EO industry leaders and European Space Agency - ESA experts coming together to explore new opportunities to scale impactful EO solutions, share joint challenges and celebrate the success of various global ESA GDA case studies. Watch the recap video below! Key take-aways from the day: 🌍 A Partnership Mindset: ESA's GDA continues to align EO capabilities with the priorities of IFIs and country counterparts. Additionally to The World Bank and the Asian Development Bank (ADB), GDA grows its reach with more associated partnerships—like those with Inter-American Development Bank and International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). 🌍 Innovative Tools: The ESA GDA Knowledge Hub and the ESA GDA Analytics & Processing Platform (APP), launching in 2025, were unveiled as key enablers for scaling EO insights and fostering collaboration. 🌍 Communication for Impact: GDA’s Communication Consortium introduced tools like the Impact Sphere and storytelling visuals to make EO success stories resonate globally. 🌍 Interactive Insights: Breakout sessions explored strategies for aligning donor priorities, thriving EO ecosystems, and measuring success, sparking ideas for 2025 and beyond. 👏 Together, we’re scaling EO impact & we’re shaping a sustainable future of development operations to #AcceleratingImpact 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dq7yA8Ts EO industry consortia leads: Brockmann Consult GmbH, Caribou Space, e-GEOS, EOMAP , Evenflow, GAF AG, GeoVille Information Systems and Data Processing GmbH, GMV, IABG, Imperative Space, Indra, MEEO S.r.l, Planetek Italia Special thanks to Caribou Space for all the great support and to ReMedia Group for this fantastic recap video!

📷ESA's XMM-Newton spacecraft has detected an unprecedented X-ray signal coming from the very edge of a supermassive black hole. This defies how we thought matter falls into black holes, and points to a potential source of gravitational waves for ESA’s future LISA mission. (Artist impression: NASA/Sonoma State University, A.
