    Catching the world in a box15 February 2019 The rapid evolution of Egypt’s Nile Delta over the last four years, as viewed from ESA’s Proba-V microsatellite. Think of it as a small token of our love for planet Earth: just a cubic metre in size, Proba-V maps land cover and vegetation growth acros...

    Public competition to sharpen views from Proba-V minisatellite12 October 2018

    Public competition to sharpen views from Proba-V minisatellite12 October 2018 ESA is challenging ‘citizen scientists’ to apply the latest AI and image processing techniques to upscale images acquired by the Earth-watching Proba-V minisatellite.

    Proba-1 sets new record08 March 2018

    Proba-1 sets new record08 March 2018 Originally designed as a two-year mission and launched on 22 October 2001, Proba-1 is still going strong, providing very valuable hyperspectral data.

    ESA’s Proba-3 will create artificial solar eclipses 17 August 2017

    ESA’s Proba-3 will create artificial solar eclipses 17 August 2017 Astrophysicists are joining sightseers in watching Monday’s total solar eclipse across North America but, in the decade to come, they will be viewing eclipses that last for hours instead of a few minutes – thanks to a pioneering ESA space mission.

    Tracking a solar eruption through the Solar System 15 August 2017

    Tracking a solar eruption through the Solar System 15 August 2017 Ten spacecraft, from ESA’s Venus Express to NASA’s Voyager-2, felt the effect of a solar eruption as it washed through the Solar System while three other satellites watched, providing a unique perspective on this space weather event.
