The launch of Envisat, the largest and most sophisticated Earth Observations satellite to date, in February 2002 will be a key moment for Europe. This is an area of space in which Europe has taken an undiputed world lead.
The Envisat satellite is an advance polar-orbiting Earth satellite, which will providfe measurements of the atmosphere ocean, land and ice over a five-year period.
Once launced, Envisat will improve upon measurements initiated by ESA's ERS-1 & 2 satellites.
