ERS-1 and its follow-on ERS-2 are remote sensing satellites for coastal, sea and ice applications. ERS-1 was launched in 1991. It is equipped with a series of instruments including a synthetic aperture radar which continues to provide images of the best quality that are used on a daily basis by government and industry for the following applications : resource management, agriculture, geology, oceanography, ice monitoring and ship routing. ERS-1 ceased operations in 1996, and ERS-2 was launched in April of 1995. ERS-2 adds to capability of a Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment(GOME) to address atmospheric chemistry, an area of growing environmental concern.

ERS-1 et son successeur ERS-2 sont des satellites de télédétection voués à des applications d'observation des zones côtières, des glaces et des mers. ERS-1 a été lancé en 1991. Les satellites sont équipés d'une série d'instruments, notamment d'un radar à synthèse d'ouverture qui continue d'acquérir des images d'excellente qualité, utilisées quotidiennement par le gouvernement et l'industrie pour des applications dans les secteurs suivants : gestion des ressources, agriculture, géologie, océanographie, surveillance des glaces et aide à la navigation. ERS-1 a cessé ses opérations en 1996, et ERS-2 a été lancé en avril 1995. ERS-2 comporte en plus une expérience de surveillance de l'ozone à l'échelle de la planète (GOME, pour Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment) visant à étudier la chimie de l'atmosphère, un secteur qui suscite de plus en plus de préoccupations environnementales.

The Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment(GOME) was launched on April 21st 1995 on board the second European Remote Sensing Satellite(ERS-2). This instrument can measure a range of atmospheric trace constituents, with the emphasis on global ozone distributions. GOME is a nadir-viewing spectrometer that measures the solar radiation scattered by the atmosphere in the ultraviolet and visible spectral region(240 to 790 nm).
