An anti-personnel PMN-type mine has been buried. The ground penetration radar sensor used in the HOPE project and based upon ESA technology is locating the mine. The red area represents the surface and on closer inspection of the measured target response an indication of the particular shape of the anti-personnel mine is shown. The Handheld Operational Demining System (HOPE) project is part of the European Union’s efforts to support humanitarian demining operations. ESA assists these efforts under its Technology Transfer Programme, which supports the use of space technology in non-space fields. Photo: RST
