Future
- SCIAMACHY data is secured now until 2010 and discussions on a mission extension until 2013 are ongoing within ESA and the national agencies. With the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) programme, Europe is preparing for the operational monitoring of the atmospheric composition from space by means of the Sentinel satellites coordinated with the European operational meteorological satellite program. SCIAMACHY serves as a blue-print for these future missions. In order to avoid data gaps in the 2010-2020 decade additional follow-on missions are required.
