Earth observation data and related services from the Copernicus Program are meanwhile embedded in the European spatial data infrastructures. From land, marine and atmosphere monitoring to emergency management and support to humanitarian action, the rich service portfolio provides satellite-based information products for Europe and – for some applications – even globally. This AGIT Special addre...

Olivine is identified as the major mafic mineral in a central peak of Copernicus crater. Information on the mineral assemblages of such unsampled lunar surface material is provided by near infrared reflectance spectra (0.7 to 2.5 micrometers) obtained with Earth-based telescopes. The composition of the deep-seated material comprising the Copernicus central peak is unique among measured areas. O...

An observational study was performed to determine relative spectral reflectivity differences (0.41.1 microns) in the Copernicus region of the moon, as well as several other bright crater areas. A photoelectric filter photometer was used. Results suggest that: (1) spectral features do exist. (2) The spectral feature amplitude in the normalized relative spectral reflectivity curves for areas stud...

Abstract. The energy sector will drastically change in the following years; multiple agreements have been signed by countries with purpose to reduce carbon emission and contain global temperature increase. Besides, next years demand increase growth of Information Communications Technology sector. To combine these two aspects, future needs be produced renewable resources less fossil fuels. An op...
