domain: we have been providing a wide range of services to the European Space
Agency (ESA), national space agencies, institutional governments and the European

requests for the International Charter for Disasters).
Our employees also play an important role in supporting prestigious European

services for the Sentinels Core Ground Segment and Data Access and for the data
dissemination operations to final users.
