ESA Industry Days for GMES Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 Missions

The purpose of the event is to acquaint industry (principally the SMEs) with the industrial possibilities stemming from the best practise procurements planned by ESA. The invitation is open to industries from ESA Member States and to industry from Member/Associated States participating in FP7. A session specifically aimed at FP7 industries to inform on the plans for Sentinel-1 procurements is also envisaged.

The overall objective of the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES), a joint initiative of the European Union and ESA, is to support Europe’s goals regarding sustainable development and global governance of the environment by providing timely and quality data, information, services and knowledge.

The GMES Space Component program includes the following instruments or sensing capabilities, which are grouped into “Sentinels”:

Sentinel-1 A C-band interferometric radar mission;
Sentinel-2 A multi-spectral optical imaging mission;
Sentinel-3 A mission with wide-swath low-medium resolution optical and infrared radiometers and a radar altimeter package.
