Overview

"We all live aboard spaceship Earth, along with six billion other passengers… our most pressing task is to learn to protect it".

invenTerre has set its sights on bringing awareness to visitors of the Earth's fragile balance through an impressive collection of space images transmitted by Earth observation satellites. With this exhibition, the Cité de l’espace invites its visitors to view an inventory of the results of a decade of satellite-based Earth observation technology.

Ever since space exploration began, scientists have been busy developing tools to enhance our knowledge about Earth and help us to monitor our planet. These tools are invaluable aids for characterising, understanding, modelling and foreseeing the way the Earth changes. Today, invenTerre is giving visitors a hands-on opportunity to find out about some applications of satellite technology and a blueprint for the future of Earth observation.
