Celebrating Earth Day

22 Apr 2022

While our satellites often look outward, searching for traces of life in the universe, they also help us better understand our own planet. The theme for Earth Day 2022 is “Invest In Our Planet” and this may be the most important Earth Day yet. It follows COP26, the largest climate change conference ever held, and the groundbreaking new IPCC reports that explain the science behind these latest discoveries.

�׻�� Alenia Space to build Copernicus CHIME satellites

13 Nov 2020

Cannes – November 13, 2020 - �׻�� Alenia Space, a joint venture between �׻�� (67 %) and Leonardo (33 %), announced today that it has signed a 90 Meuro first tranche contract with the European Space Agency (ESA) to design and build the 2 environmental monitoring satellites of the Copernicus Hyperspectral Imaging Mission for the Environment (CHIME), the global amount being 455 million euros. The CHIME mission is part of the expansion of the Copernicus Space Component programme of the European Space Agency, ESA, in partnership with the European Commission. The European Copernicus flagship programme provides Earth observation and in situ data and a broad range of services for environmental monitoring and protection, climate monitoring, natural disaster assessment to improve the quality of life of European citizens.
