 17 years of ERS-1/2 SAR data in the archive  ERS-2 achieved 13 years in orbit in April 2008  ERS-2 was designed for 3 years nominal lifetime !  Ample hydrazine  ~ 50% left after 13 years  Platform  preventive measures are implemented on the power system to compensate for ageing  Instruments  all instruments work satisfactorily and provides useful data  Good prospect to operate ERS-2 mission until 2011 ERS-1 and ERS-2 missions

Exploitation of the synergy between ERS-2 and Envisat  same ground track with 30 minutes time difference ERS-2 / Envisat InSAR Tandem periods: ERS-2 orbit is shifted by 2 km w.r.t. Envisat orbit First period: September 07 to February 08 Second period: November 08 to January 09 ERS-2 / Envisat InSAR Tandem periods: ERS-2 orbit is shifted by 2 km w.r.t. Envisat orbit First period: September 07 to February 08 Second period: November 08 to January 09 ERS-2 / Envisat InSAR Tandem

ERS Envisat envisaged 3-years extension Sentinel-1 approved 3-years extension New orbital parameters The Envisat 3-years extension requests a modification of the orbital parameters in 2010 as the on-board hydrazine will be almost completely consumed by The following criteria were used to find a solution for extending Envisat beyond 2010: to keep the current nominal mission for as long as possible (i.e. until 2010), to extend the mission well beyond 2010, to ensure the continuity of the max. number of Envisat applications beyond 2010, to follow the mitigation rules for space debris risk at end of mission. Envisat 3-years extension [ ] Envisat extension: funding not yet granted
