5. Conclusions

The envisaged mission is expected to fulfil the European requirements for operational meteorology and climate monitoring, while allowing European scientists to continue and enlarge their research in a diversity of Earth Sciences fields, continuing the ERS and complementing the Envisat missions. It will also contribute to the global surveillance of air, land, sea and ice environment, by setting up the basis for a number of new operational applications.
