Satellite Integral - Illustration - Artist's view of the European satellite INTEGRAL (International Gamma - Ray Astrophysics Laboratory) observing a black hole. 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)

Satellite ERS-1 - Artist's view of the European satellite ERS-1 (European Remote Sensing - 1) in orbit around the Earth. Launched in July 1991, this radar satellite observes the Earth. ERS - 1 artist composition over the coast of the Netherlands. ERS-1 (European Remote Sensing Satellite) was put into orbit by Ariane in July 1991. Since then, day and night and even through the densest clouds, it has been using its three intsruments to survey the structure of the planets surface, taking radar images that reveal the smallest details and monitor changes

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) - Artist view - The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) - Artist view: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will replace the Hubble Space Telescope in 2018. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large, infrared-optimized space telescope scheduled for launch in 2018. Equipped with a large mirror 6.5 meters (21.3 feet) in diameter, it will find the first galaxies that formed in the early Universe, connecting the Big Bang to our own Milky Way Galaxy and will reside in an orbit about 1.5 million km (1 million miles) from the Earth - The shaded side of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) as it may appear later this decade when it is observing from the Earth-Sun L2 point about 930 thousand miles from the Earth. Part of the Milky Way can be seen reflected in the 21-foot diameter mirror assembly. This assembly is composed of 18 hexagonal segments of gold-coated beryllium which combines to create a near-infrared light-collecting area of about 80 square fe

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

Data can be used to measure leaf area index, leaf chlorophyll and leaf water content to monitor plant growth, which is particularly important during the growing season. It will be used to generate land-cover maps, to track changes in the way land is being used and to monitor the world's forests. In addition, Sentinel-2 provides information on pollution in lakes

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 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

The Sunshield on Nasa's James Webb Space Telescope is the largest part of the observatory - five layers of thin membrane that must unfurl reliably in space to precise tolerances. Last week, for the first time, engineers stacked and unfurled a full-sized test unit of the Sunshield and it worked perfectly. The Sunshield is about the length of a tennis court, and will be folded up like an umbrella around the Webb telescope's mirrors and instruments during launch. Once it reaches its orbit, the Webb telescope will receive a command from Earth to unfold, and separate the Sunshield's five layers into their precisely stacked arrangement with its kite-like shape

The Herschel Space Observatory, launched on 14 May 2009, is studying in the infrared the formation of galaxies, stars and planetary systems. This satellite measures nearly 7 metres high by 4.3 metres wide and weighs 3.25 tonnes. Its telescope has a 3.5-meter mirror, making it the largest mirror ever made for a scientific space mission. Herschel is in orbit around Lagrange 2, approximately 1.5 million kilometres from Earth. ESA's Herschel Space Observatory (formerly called Far Infrared and Submillimetre Telescope or FIRST) will solve the mystery of how stars and galaxies were born. Objects such as other planetary systems, or processes like the birth of galaxies in the early universe, can best be studied with infrared space telescopes in space.
