What are ESA Third Party Missions?
In addition to providing users with data from its own Earth observing satellites, the European Space Agency (ESA) uses its multi-mission ground systems to process, archive and distribute data from other satellites – so called Third Party Missions. Very High Resolution (VHR) imagery from the WorldView Constellation can be accessed by researchers and developers for non-commercial applications.
Who is Eligible?
Academics, scientists, researchers and qualifying start-ups are eligible to access data from ESA Third Party Missions for non-commercial use.
How do I apply?
Hopeful users should apply to the ESA portal and submit a project proposal. A response typically takes less than 2 weeks.
