** [[CryoSat-2]] (the measurement of the thickness of floating ice), launched on 8 April 2010.
* '''[[Meteosat|MSG]]''': the Meteosat Second Generation is a joint project between ESA and EUMETSAT.
* '''[[MetOp]]''': MetOp is Europe's first polar-orbiting satellite dedicated to operational meteorology. MetOp is a series of three satellites launched sequentially over 12 years from October 2006 to November 2018. The series provides data for both operational meteorology and climate studies until at least 2027.
* French '''[[SPOT (satellite)|SPOT]]''': SPOT (Satellite Pour l'Observation de la Terre) consists of a series of earth observation satellites providing high-resolution images of the Earth. SPOT-4 and SPOT-5 include sensors called VEGETATION able to monitor continental ecosystems.
* German '''[[TerraSAR-X]]''': TerraSAR-X is an Earth observation satellite providing high quality topographic information. TerraSAR-X data has a wide range of applications (e.g. land use / land cover mapping, topographic mapping, forest monitoring, emergency response monitoring, and [[environmental monitoring]]).
