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. 3, record 1, English, - European%20Remote%20Sensing%20Satellite

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. 3, record 1, French, - Satellite%20europ%C3%A9en%20de%20t%C3%A9l%C3%A9d%C3%A9tection
