The forthcoming launch of SAOCOM satellites will make multitemporal L band signatures available. To take benefit from this opportunity, this study analyzes and models L band signatures of typical Argentinean crops, and proposes an algorithm able to retrieve soil moisture.

Small Satellite is a very attractive strategy for developing national or regional hyperspectral missions.

The SAVOIR/SAG identified the modular RTU as a high priority building block. This is one of the key avionics building blocks as the provided functionality is required by the majority of ESA missions.

An EQM has been developed and validated. FR in June/July 2017. EQM Test completed!. The EQM will be used as EM of the Proba3 IEU and it has been used to qualify the design of the IEU of Proba3. EQM campaign concluded and the unit is to be delivered to Proba3.

The INSPIRE project is dedicated to the study of physical processes and their effects in ionosphere which could be determined as earthquake precursors together with detailed description of the methodology of ionospheric pre-seismic anomalies definition.

Recent developments in optical fabrication, detector technologies and spectral filter allow very compact telescopes and spectrometers designs, although less

The study relied on various state-of-the-art numerical tools (RT model, assimilation OSSE and NWP forecast systems) to explore the possible impact of a Geosounder mission on the retrieval of humidity and forecast. The study showcases that some specifications are valid for such an endeavor and some needs to be refined. Future works should be directed towards a more complex information content analysis with an all sky OSSE set up and maybe a multispectral/hyperspectral perspective on the channel selection.

The objective of the study was twofold: i) to analyse the new dynamics of desertification in Southern African region (southern Mozambique, southern Zimbabwe and Northern South Africa) through main achievements of the DesertWatch-Extension; ii) to propose new methods for integration of EO data with different spatial and spectral resolutions, namely the new ESA Proba-V mission, and new field data, in particular, the map of risks on natural disasters in Mozambique.
