(2/2006)
In the presence of the Minister of Commerce, Odd Eriksen, the Norwegian User Support and Operations Centre (N-USOC) at Plantebiosenteret (located at The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway) was opened on March 31, 2006.

Atmosphere Climate Experiment Plus - ACE+
(2/2003)
ACE+ is the response to ESA´s 2nd Call for Earth Explorer Opportunity Missions in 2001. ACE+ will considerably advance our knowledge about atmosphere physics and climate change processes. The mission will demonstrate a highly innovative approach using radio occultations for globally measuring profiles of humidity and temperature throughout the atmosphere and stratosphere.

On February 1 2003 the American space shuttle Columbia disintegrated during reenty, killing all seven astronauts on board and bringing the shuttle program to a halt.

Proposal for new missions - Denmark is in the forefront
(3/2002)
Through the development of the Ørsted satellite, and the use of data from him, Denmark has appropriated valuable experience in using satellites in different ways. That has led to several proposals for new missions.

Realization of terrestrial and celestial reference systems using space geodetic observations
(1/2002)
During the last 30 years a global network of stations equipped with instruments for high precision observation of artificial Earth satellites and very distant radio sources has been established. Some of the satellites are carrying payloads, for example radar altimeters, where the application requires that the radial component of the satellite orbit must be determined to a precision of five cm or better.
