Yes, the ESA is now launching a project called GLOBCOVER. As the name suggests, this project seeks to produce
satellite map images of the actual planet's surface with the highest resolution quality in the history of satellite mapping. These satellite maps are intended to increase the efficiency of our environmental scientists to do their work. Well, their job is to protect the environment, and they would need all the information they could get so as to either prevent any environmental damages, or predict natural disasters, right?
