The ERS Satellites: ERS-2

      The ERS satellites

      ERS-2


      ERS-2, the successor of ERS-1, was launched on 21 April 1995. Together, the satellites are now orbiting in the same orbital plane, with all instruments simultaneously operating.

      ERS-2 is similar to ERS-1 with very similar instruments, only the GOME instrument has been added.
