The following is a list of projects of the European Space Agency (ESA) including collaborations with other, national agencies, such as the French CNES, the Chinese CNSA, the Canadian CSA, the Japanese JAXA, the U.S. NASA and others. The list does not include satellite missions operated by telecommunication companies from the private sector, such as SES and Eutelsat. Cosmic Vision is ESA's ten-year, space-science missions programme, starting in 2015. It succeeds the Horizon 2000 long-term scientific programme. == Active Missions == * Artemis — Advanced telecommunication satellite. * CryoSat-2 — a three-year radar altimetry mission launched on 8 April 2010 to determine variations in the thickness of the Earth’s continental ice sheets and marine ice cover; built to replace Cryosat after launch failure. * Galileo positioning system — a satellite positioning system. * GIOVE-B — the second Galileo in-orbit validation satellite launched on April 2008. * Hubble Space Telescope — built and operated in cooperation with NASA. * IXV — Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle. Launch date: 11 February 2015 * Mars Express — a space probe to Mars. * MetOp-A — is the first polar orbiting satellite dedicated to operational meteorology. A satellite to study temperature and humidity, wind speed and direction, ozone and other trace gases on Earth. * MetOp-B — the second satellite in the EUMETSAT Polar System (EPS), launched in 2012 * Proba-1 — is the technology demonstration mini-satellite launched in 2001. It is the first satellite in the PROBA series * Proba-2 — the second satellite in the PROBA series, launched in 2009 together with SMOS. * Proba-V — a new satellite in the PROBA series, launched in May 2013. Main objective is to observe the ground vegetation on a global scale. * SMOS — the second Earth Explorer mission launched on November 2009 designed to measure Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity. * Swarm — a satellite mission to measure Earth's magnetic field. * Sentinel-1 — the first component of the GMES Space Segment, carrying a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) in C-Band, that will provide all-weather, day and night radar imaging for land and ocean services. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of projects of the European Space Agency」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
