Satellite MSG - 1 - Meteosat 8 - Artist's view of the European satellite MSG - 1 (Meteosat Second Generation) or Meteosat 8, in orbit around the Earth. Launched on August 28, 2002, it is a geostationary satellite located 35 600 km from Earth; dedicated to meteorology, it observes the Earth in visible, and in infrared. Meteosat Second Generation (MSG), is equipped with an extremely sophisticated imaging radiometer that can separate the incoming radiation into 12 (3 with the current Meteosat) different spectral bands. Each section, four of them in the visible and eight in the thermal infrared, delivers different information. They vary from visible images of weather systems during the day to cloud temperature at night; from surface temperature and water vapour to trace gas concentrations and dust particles in the atmosphere. MSG will deliver about twenty times as much information as its predecessor Meteosat, resulting in much more accurate short and medium - range forecasts

Satellite METOP - A - Artist's view of the European satellite METOP - A in orbit around the Earth. Launch on October 19, 2006, it is the first European meteorological satellite in polar orbit; it includes twelve meteorological instruments. MetOp is a series of three meteorological operational polar orbiting satellites, the first of which, MetOp-1 is the prototype. The instruments on MetOp will produce high - resolution images, vertical temperature and humidity profiles, and temperatures of the land and ocean surface on a global basis. Also on board the satellites will be instruments for monitoring ozone and wind flow over the oceans. The first launch was on October 19 2006

Satellite Orbiting Carbon Observatory - Artist's concept of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory - Artist's view of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) satellite orbiting Earth. This satellite, scheduled to launch in early 2009, will be dedicated exclusively to the study of carbon dioxide on Earth. The mission, scheduled to launch in early 2009, will be the first spacecraft dedicated to studying atmospheric carbon dioxide, the main human - produced driver of climate change. It will provide the first global picture of the human and natural sources of carbon dioxide and the places where this important greenhouse gas is stored. Such information will improve global carbon cycle models as well as forecasts of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and of how our climate may change in the future

Satellite Integral - Illustration - Satellite INTEGRAL in Proton fairing. Artwork - Artist's view of the European satellite INTEGRAL (International Gamma - Ray Astrophysics Laboratory) during the opening of the cap of the Proton rocket. Integral (International Gamma - Ray Astrophysics Laboratory) is the first space observatory that can simultaneously observe objects in gamma rays, X - rays, and visible light. Its main targets are violent explosions known as gamma - ray bursts, powerful phenomena such as supernova explosions, and regions in the Universe thought to contain black holes. Launched on 17 October 2002 (Proton launcher from Baikonur, Kazakhstan)

Its main targets are violent explosions known as gamma - ray bursts, powerful phenomena such as supernova explosions, and regions in the Universe thought to contain black holes. Launched on 17 October 2002 (Proton launcher from Baikonur, Kazakhstan)

Just an hour and a half after this image of Hurricane Ike was captured by the MODIS on NASA's Aqua satellite on September 7, 2008, the National Hurricane Center released its 2:00 p.m. EDT public advisory, warning residents of Cuba and other Caribbean islands, as well as the Florida Keys, that Ike was a dangerous Category 4 hurricane, with winds near 135 mph (215 kilometers per hour), with higher gusts. The image shows Ike approaching eastern Cuba, the eye just west of Great Inagua Island (one of the Turks and Caicos Islands). According to later advisories, Ike made landfall as a Category 3 storm, with winds around 125 miles per hour. Heavy rains were predicted to cause deadly floods and mudslides in mountainous parts of Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic) and Cuba

Once known as Triana, the satellite was conceived in 1998 to provide continuous views of Earth, to monitor the solar wind, and to measure fluctuations in Earth's albedo. The mission was put on hold in 2001, and the part-built satellite ended up in storage for several years with an uncertain future. In 2008, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NASA, and the U.S. Air Force decided to refurbish and update the spacecraft for launch - On February 11, 2015, DSCOVR was finally lofted into space by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.

Fish populations have died off, and wind - blown sand and salts threaten the entire region with the advancement of the Qyzylqum Desert (centre right of the image). Today the inland sea covers about half of its former area and its water volume have decreased by about 75 per cent

The distinctive pattern of water erosion from rivers and streams is clearly visible as they make their way towards the Nile, at which point the rolling sandy highlands drop abruptly at the Nile valley, visible along the bottom of the image. Fields of intensive farming along the Nile appear red owing to this false-colour image being processed to include the near-infrared. The varying shades of red indicate how sensitive the multispectral instrument on Sentinel-2 is to differences in chlorophyll content, providing key information on plant health.

This image shows the sea ice that occurred on September 9, 2008. Sea ice is frozen seawater floating on the surface of the ocean. Some sea ice is semi-permanent, persisting from year to year, and some is seasonal, melting and refreezing from season to season. The sea ice cover reaches its minimum extent at the end of each summer and the remaining ice is called the perennial ice cover. Image made from Aqua satellite instrument

Artist view of the European satellite GOCE put into orbit by a Rockot rocket - GOCE satellite - Artist view - Artist view of the European satellite GOCE put into orbit by a Rockot rocket. GoCE (Gravity - Field and Steady - State Ocean Circulation Explorer) is expected to be launched in 2009. Artist view of the European satellite GOCE launched by a Rockot launcher. GOCE (Gravity - Field and Steady - State Ocean Circulation Explorer) aims to measure the Earth's gravitational field and is scheduled in 2009

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) - JWST Set for Testing in Space Simulation Chamber: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in front of the empty chamber door of Nasa's Johnson Space Center. He'll be locked up for a series of tests. The JWST will replace the Hubble Space Telescope in 2018. Equipped with a 6.5 m mirror, he will observe the universe mainly in infrared. 25 May 2017. Nasa's James Webb Space Telescope sits in front of the door to Chamber A, a giant thermal vacuum chamber located at Nasa's Johnson Space Center. The telescope will soon be moved into the chamber, where it will spend a hot Houston summer undergoing tests at sub-freezing cryogenic temperatures. The telescope will operate at an extremely cold 39 K (-234* C or -389* F) in space, so NASA is simulating those conditions on the ground, ensuring the optics and instruments will perform perfectly after launch. May 25 2017.

Microsatellite TARANIS et Elfe - Artist view - Microsatellite TARANIS and elve - Artist view - Artist view of the french satellite TARANIS observing an elf (luminous disc in the ionosphere). TARANIS (for Tool for the Analysis of Radiation from LightNing and Sprites) will study in particular the light phenomena ephemeres (or TLE) that occur in the high atmosphere. Artist view of the CNES satellite TARANIS (for Tool for the Analysis of Radiation from Lightning and Sprites) watching an elve. This microsatellite will study the transient luminous events (TLE) which appear in the high atmosphere

Earth seen at night - 2012 - City Lights 2012 - Flat map - Earth observed at night by satellite. Composite image obtained by the Suomi NPP satellite in April and October 2012. NASA image acquired April 18 - October 23, 2012 This image of the Earth at night is a composite assembled from data acquired by the Suomi National Polar - orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) satellite over nine days in April 2012 and thirteen days in October 2012. It took 312 orbits and 2.5 terabytes of data to get a clear shot of every parcel of Earth's land surface and islands
