PIX4644086: CRYOSAT-2 satellite - The European Cryosat-2 satellite is being tested at the Space Test Centre at IABG (Industrieanlagen - Betriebsgesellschaft mbH) in Ottobrunn, Germany, in September 2009. This satellite is intended to study polar ice. CryoSat - 2 undergoing testing at the Space Test Centre at IABG (Industrieanlagen - Betriebsgesellschaft mbH) in Ottobrunn, Germany in September 2009. CryoSat will be the third of ESA's Earth Explorer satellites in orbit. The 700 kg CryoSat spacecraft whose name comes from the Greek kryos meaning cold or ice carries the first all - weather microwave radar altimeter. The instrument has been optimised for determining changes in the thickness of both floating sea ice, which can be up to several meters, and polar land ice sheets, which in Antarctica can be close to 5 km thick. The mission will deliver data on the rate of change of the ice thickness accurate to within one centimetre / Bridgeman Images

PIX4646082: Mirror of the Herschel satellite - Herschel spacecraft's mirror - Inspection of the mirror of the European Herschel satellite. The Herschel Space Observatory, scheduled to launch in 2009, will study in the infrared the formation of galaxies, stars and planetary systems. This satellite measures nearly 7 metres high by 4.3 metres wide and weighs 3.25 tonnes. Its telescope has a 3.5-meter mirror, making it the largest mirror ever made for a scientific space mission. Herschel will orbit around Lagrange 2, approximately 1.5 million kilometres from Earth. The gigantic telescope of ESA's space - based infrared observatory, Herschel, is being prepared to be assembled with its spacecraft. Herschel's telescope, which will carry the largest mirror ever flown in space, has been delivered to ESA's European Space Research and Technology Centre, ESTEC, where engineers and scientists are busy with the final steps that will prepare the infrared observatory for launch in 2009. ESA's Herschel Space Observatory will observe at wavelengths never covered before. It will be located 1.5 million kilometers away from Earth, farther than any previous space telescope / Bridgeman Images
