Data from ESA's GOCE gravity satellite are being used to improve models of Earth's geology, indicating the potential locations of subsurface energy sources.

An EPIC new view of Earth

This image of the Earth was the first to be acquired by the DSCOVR satellite on 6 July 2015. It shows the entire sunlit side of Earth as imaged by the EPIC instrument aboard DSCOVR.

On 26 July at 11:30 CEST, EUMETSAT took control of Europe's last Meteosat Second Generation weather satellite, MSG-4.

Conservation scientists need to collaborate with space agencies, such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA), to identify measures which help track biodiversity declines around the world. Scientists, led by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), UK, and University of Twente, Netherlands, are calling for urgent cooperation, according to a comment published in Nature.

The UK Space Agency and the South African Space Agency (SANSA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that will see them increase collaboration and review areas of common interest in their space programmes.

Investigators have traced the cause of an in-space disintegration of a U.S. Air Force weather satellite in February to a battery fault and identified six other spacecraft in orbit prone to the same failure.
