ESA is launching a range of research-oriented Earth Explorer missions, with ‘core’ missions addressing specific areas of great scientific interest, and faster, lower cost 'Opportunity' missions to study areas of immediate environmental concern.
GOCE, launched in 2009, is studying how the gravity field affects our ocean currents and sea level.
SMOS will study Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity and the water cycle, vital indicators for weather forecasting, climate monitoring and predicting extreme events.
CryoSat-2 will measure changes in the continental ice sheets and marine ice cover.
ADM-Aeolus, an atmospheric dynamics mission, will greatly improve our knowledge of the world’s winds.
Swarm will study changes in the Earth’s magnetic field to improve our understanding of its interior and climate.
EarthCARE, a joint mission with Japan, will study the interaction between clouds, dust, sunlight and infrared rays.

Due to the success of the Φ-Experience conceived by AES and ESA and the Memorabilia Wall in Frascati, there has been an ongoing creative process on the development of a new part to complement the multimedia centre. This new area was previously dedicated to the CREOP (Control Room for Earth Observation Payloads) but has recently been completely refurbished as a showcase of activities that are carried out on the ESA ESRIN establishment.

So many nights i prayed that this would just stop.
awoke out of my sleep by a sound of a popped lock
my heart would drop to the ground, maybe the fact that my
pops wasn't around forced you to found these guys that would
just knocked you down or beat you around.
i don't know. my innocence was lost back then not to be found
and in a sense its like this world was just weighing me down,
leaning it's weight hard on my shoulders.
making my heart less warm and much more colder,
chip off my tooth and a chip on my shoulders.
i told ya'll that i don't play.
i seen drama every goddamn day.
so go ahead, yip yab away, cause now you got a lot to say.
[Más Letras en es.mp3lyrics.org/Ohf]
cast your judgments, cast all your stones.
holding my hands, holding on to everything i have
because it's slipping away so fast and it's all i have.
i was like 6 then, we had no pot to piss in.
while most kids lives consists of shine and glisten,
mine was lined with mischief. a boy flipping.
devoid of times you find joy to reminisce in.
it's like time was missing, years were passing.
i was inside while kids were outside laughing.
no time for games, their fake toy planes were crashing,
while me.. my life was crashing.
at night fist fight left my mom's face smashed in.
her man's blasted, he threw her down a flight of stairs.
alone and scared i stared in eyes of men who didn't care.
my father was never there. now i am prepared for this
lifetime that is unfair, in life i fight from the bottom to the top.
in this life i had to fight for all that i got.
it hurts but i still won't stop, 'til my casket drops.
