Notional views by Astrium Berlin of the long-planned MoonNEXT lunar lander, after having been bumped for a scheduled expedition to the rim of Shackleton crater and the lunar south pole the 2018 mission was finally scratched from ESA budgets in 2014. In the midst of increasing tensions between European partner nations and the Russian Federation, ESA planners have agreed to investigate the possibility of partnering with Russia in the LunaGlob or Luna Resource orbiter, lander and rover programs. A similar partnership with India was recently broken off.

International Day of Action for Rivers prompted us to take action to better conserve and protect these critical waterways. ESA is exploring the ways we can better adapt rivers to rising temperatures.
Last year’s record-shattering heatwave across the Pacific Northwest sent temperatures soaring over 110 degrees across Oregon and Washington, making it one of the hottest summers on record in the region. This poses great risk to species within the region’s rivers and watersheds, such as Coho and Chinook salmon which are federally listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
ESA’s conservation planners and restoration specialists are actively working across Washington to remove invasive plants along the watersheds and planting native riparian trees in their place, such as a recent volunteer effort along the Green River. These trees provide shade and cool river waters﹘important for juvenile fish migration and supporting biodiversity﹘and are part of the solution to help rivers become more climate resilient.
ESA hosted the Living Planet Symposium on 13–17 May 2019 in Milan, Italy.
The event brought together scientists and users to present their latest findings on Earth’s environment and climate derived from satellite data. It provided an opportunity to introduce missions in development from ESA – such as the Sentinels, Earth Explorers and meteorological missions – as well as from national space agencies.
It was the world’s biggest conference on Earth observation to date.
Covered scientific themes include oceanography, solid Earth and geodesy, atmosphere, climate and meteorology, the cryosphere, hazards, methodologies and products, near-Earth environment and land applications. Special sessions were dedicated to ESA programmes and initiatives, including the Climate Change Initiative and other international cooperation initiatives, as well as the Copernicus environmental monitoring programme.
The symposium followed the previous ones held in Prague (2016), Edinburgh (2013), Bergen (2010), Montreux (2007) and Salzburg (2004).

Eccoli a forma di un otto, come quelli che dipingeva Van Gogh nella Notte Stellata. Questi sono nel Sud dell’Atlantico, a 600 km dalle Falkland. Tracce lasciate dal fitoplancton, così come quelle verdi, solo di diversa intensità e tipologia. Leggi l'articolo su Galileo (www.galileonet.it) Credits: Esa
