Welcome to the ‘Earth Observation – Disruptive Technology and New Space' online course.

The explosion in Earth observation data from the Sentinel programme, a new generation of commercial satellites, and emerging constellations of small satellites, has created one of the greatest ‘big data’ challenges in the world today. In this course you will explore technologies such as AI, 3D data visualisation, cloud computing technologies and blockchain, and learn how they are meeting the needs of the ever-growing data analytics and data navigation challenges in EO.

This short video provides an overview of the course content. The course consists of three modules featuring a series of interviews with leading experts across Earth Observation and related technologies, plus an extra module on how ESA is responding to the digital trends highlighted in previous modules, and the real-world impact emerging from ESA's Phi innovation strategy. 

Take the course.
