The satellite was the successor of the two ERS satellites, and was launched on March 1<sup>st<\/sup>, 2002, from the spaceport in Kourou, French Guyana, aboard an Ariane 5 carrier. It remained active until April 8<sup>th<\/sup>, 2012, the day when the communication with the ground-based stations stopped; on May 9<sup>th<\/sup>, 2012, after several attempts to re-establish contact and identify the reasons behind the lack of reaction by the satellite, the ESA declared the end of the mission. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nENVISAT was placed in a sun-synchronous polar orbit, at a distance of nearly 790 km from Earth, and had been designed to study and monitor the environment of the Earth at various levels: local, regional and global. Specifically, the goals of the satellite were: monitoring of the resources of the Earth (both renewable and non-renewable), study of the structure and dynamics of the Earth\u2019s crust and the internal part of the planet and support to already active weather services. The fields where the data captured by the satellite provided a significant contribution are: climatology, meteorology, atmospheric chemistry, hydrology, protection of the environment, of the soil and the plant cover.\r\n\r\nENVISAT had a suite of 9 on-board instruments; some of them were advanced versions of those that came with ERS-1 and ERS-2, such as the AATSR advanced radiometer (Advanced Along Track Scanning Radiometer) and the Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nSame as it happened with ERS-1 and ERS-2, the ASI was also involved in this mission for the processing of the data acquired by ENVISAT by the I-PAF and I-PAC facilities, located by the Geodesy Centre of the Italian Space Agency in Matera.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Study and monitoring of the Earth at various levels<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2673,"parent":17438,"menu_order":255,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17690","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) -
