🔴 ESA Launches $182M Plan to Boost Commercial Rockets

🔸 New “Launcher Challenge” seeks private EU firms to orbit payloads from 2026–2030.
🔸 ESA drops rigid control—no specs on reusability or rocket size.
🔸 Funding hinges on home countries backing winners (France, Germany, Norway).
🔸 Aim: End reliance on Russia & SpaceX, build EU launch independence.

RT by @CopernicusEU: Less than a week after its successful launch, @CopernicusEU Sentinel-1C delivers its first radar image of our planet.

The Sentinel-1 mission greatly benefits agricultural regions, like the one of Flevoland 🇳🇱 seen below, by monitoring crop growth, among others.

🌍 How would you describe our planet from space?

For us, it's just breathtaking. And we want to keep it that way.

With satellite and ground instruments, the Copernicus Programme provides real-time data and climate forecasts to protect our unique and vulnerable biodiversity.

On Earth as in space.

During COP16 in Colombia, we are highlighting the EU’s commitment to tackling biodiversity loss with integrated solutions.

#EUSpace can help make a difference ➡ europa.eu/!6JnwGx

The image depicts a pied avocet, a striped bird, standing prominently in the foreground. The bird has a black and white plumage. Several smaller birds can be seen in the background. The text below the image reads: "Lake Neusiedl is home to the pied avocet and rich wildlife." Next to it is the logo of the European Union
The image shows Lake Neusiedl captured from space. Highlighted in light green and blue are terrestrial features. The text below the image reads: "Copernicus helps monitor this ecosystem from space..." Next to it is the logo of the European Union.
The image features a natural landscape, possibly a river or lake, with greenery and a person standing in the foreground using research gear next to rocks. The text at the bottom reads, "...helping conservationists on the ground..." Next to it is the logo of the European Union.
The image depicts a rugged, mountainous landscape with a small stream. The stream has an orange hue while the surrounding vegetation appears lush and green, with fallen trees and exposed rocks. The text below reads: "...to ensure biodiversity thrives in this natural sanctuary." Next to it is the logo of the European Union.

🌊🔥🌡️ Earth’s challenges, we are ready!

The EU’s Copernicus Programme provides crucial Earth observation data to enhance prevention, response, and recovery efforts, including:

🛰️ Rapid mapping during floods and wildfires
🛰️ Early warning systems for floods, wildfires and droughts
🛰️ Climate change data to support adaptation and mitigation policies

On International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, we’ve got your back and our planet’s too.

🌍🛰️ Space can help solve Earth's pressing problems.

Copernicus uses high-res satellite imagery and other non-space data to protect Europeans and nature with:

🌡️ Climate data
🌀 Ozone analysis
🔥 Wildfire tracking
🏞️ Air, water quality
🌋 Volcano monitoring
🌊 Marine pollution, flood risks

And that's the tip of the iceberg (yes, we keep an eye on that too).

The EU’s Earth Observation Programme offers many opportunities for jobs and innovation.

Mont Saint-Michel in France with a cloudy sky. A causeway leads to the island. The top right corner features the European Union flag. At the bottom is the text, “The Mont Saint-Michel experiences some of Europe's largest tides..”  
Satellite image of a delta, showing patterns resembling tree branches. The colours range from blue to green, indicating different water depths or vegetation. A small landmass with Mont Saint-Michel, France, is at the centre. The European Union flag is in the top right corner, and the text at the bottom reads “With Copernicus, we can track these powerful tides...”
An individual, who is crouched down outdoors, measures something on the ground with a yellow ruler. The ground is covered with seaweed or marine vegetation. In the background, there is a coastline with water and rocks, under a partly cloudy sky. The top right corner features the European Union flag, and the bottom text reads, “...and gain deeper insights into this natural phenomenon...”  
Mont Saint-Michel in France during a low tide and more luminous but cloudy sky. The European Union flag is in the top right corner, and the text at the bottom reads ...to protect this beloved treasure for future generations.”

Our finest eye on Earth was launched. 🛰

At 03:50 CET, our Copernicus Sentinel-2C satellite launched aboard a Vega rocket from 🇫🇷 Kourou, French Guiana.

It will capture a wide portion of our planet in high resolution, spanning a spectrum from the visible to the shortwave infrared.

The satellite will monitor vegetation, soil, water, and urban areas enabling scientists, public authorities and companies to tackle existential challenges and boost growth.

The image shows a nighttime rocket launch with bright flames and smoke at the base as the rocket ascends. The white rocket features the ESA logo on its body, alongside smaller ones. The launchpad also features the same logo.

Our conference has been backed by Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem (CDSE): an initiative of the European Space Agency and the European Commission that is revolutionizing the processing and distribution of Copernicus Earth Observation (EO) data.

The project is being implemented by industrial consortium partners: T-Systems, CloudFerro, Sinergise, VITO, DLR, ACRI-ST, and RHEA.



CDSE consortium is a silver plus sponsor Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem consortium consists of: T-Systems International, CloudFerro S.A., Sinergise, VITO, German Aerospace Center (DLR), ACRI-ST, RHEA
