5. After 11 years of ERS: q ERS-2 still operational q a wealth of science and application results (SAR Interferometry) q technological progress, (ERS-1/2 Tandem Phase, Geodetic Phase) q consolidation of a large (thousands) EO user community q huge data archives as basis for long-term environmental monitoring established (11 years measurements) -> ERS-2 Operations being continued After 11 years of ERS: q ERS-2 still operational q a wealth of science and application results (SAR Interferometry) q technological progress, (ERS-1/2 Tandem Phase, Geodetic Phase) q consolidation of a large (thousands) EO user community q huge data archives as basis for long-term environmental monitoring established (11 years measurements) -> ERS-2 Operations being continued ERS (1991 - 2002) Dec, 2002

6. ENVISAT Commissioning & Operations Phase-in Schedule Launch SODAP Commissioning Calibration Workshop Commissioning Validation Workshop, Phase-in of non-cal/val Pis Operations Readiness Review-1, Hand-over Initial Operations Phase,Phase-in of DEs Operations Readiness –2 Full Operations Phase….  2006  Product Validation and Evolution  Dec, 2002

7. 674 accepted AO projects (100 cal/val) 160 new cat-1 projects accepted 47 Countries -> 250 non-cal/val projects already phased in ENVISAT: Projects’ Status today Dec, 2002

8. + Launch & Injection excellent + Unique combination of instruments ; all Instruments working outstanding + technical status extremely positive for long operations + funding until end 2006 committed + Artemis likely to be recovered by Feb 2003 + ERS-2 still alive and in operations ENVISAT: Situation today - Launch was late - Artemis not available - data for validation activities distributed late, back-log processing difficult Dec, 2002

9. ENVISAT: tomorrow A unique combination of instruments and data for scientific, public benefit, operational and commercial use for several years In context with other missions : continuation of observations and projects for 15 years of monitoring Dec, 2002
