Sentinel-4 is a European Earth observation mission under development to support the European Union Copernicus Programme.It will focus on monitoring of trace gas concentrations and aerosols in the atmosphere to support operational services covering air-quality near-real time applications, air-quality protocol monitoring, and climate protocol monitoring.
In the course of the mission, 3 other helicopters were forced to land due to damage from ground fire. Total casualties amounted to 2 killed and 5 wounded Americans whilst more than 25 terrorists were killed and 4 captured. When Darkness came, the Delta Force raiders extracted from the area. [51]
The Sentinel-3 mission's main objectives are to measure sea-surface topography, land- and sea-surface temperature, land- and ocean-surface colour with accuracy in support of ocean forecasting systems, and for environmental and climate monitoring. [4] [6] [5] Sentinel-3 builds directly on the heritage pioneered by ERS-2 and Envisat satellites.
These were augmented by mission control staff transferred from ESTEC to operate satellites and manage the ESTRACK tracking station network. [ 14 ] [ 15 ] Within just eight months, ESOC, as part of ESRO, was already operating its first mission, ESRO-2B, a scientific research satellite and the first of many operated from ESOC for ESRO, and later ESA.
Copernicus is the Earth observation component of the European Union Space Programme, managed by the European Commission and implemented in partnership with the EU member states, the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), the Joint Research Centre (JRC ...
