Atelier Guarniero

ERS-2

The Guarniero model is used in this illustration.

Mission
The second Ariane launch of 1995 carried a very special payload into space: ERS-2, the European Space Agency's second environmental satellite. This was the most complex satellite ever built in Europe to observe planet Earth and its environment.

Instruments
ERS-2's passive instrument load includes an along-track (i.e. in the direction of flight) scanning radiometer equipped with six channels in the infrared and visible parts of the spectrum. The three channels in the visible spectrum are new and are used to observe vegetation, for example for crop forecasting or monitoring of deforestation.

The 1:60 tablemodel created using advanced design- and manufacturing techniques. The scale model has been made exactly matching the authentic designs, respecting all details.

Atelier Guarniero creates high quality space models, many of which are part of the ESA space program and of the International Space Station (ISS). Each scale model is made exactly matching the real spacecraft using information provided by the European space agency. At the moment we are working on a new line of rocket models beginning with the Soyuz launcher. We are planning to create a full line of rockets to complement our collection of satellites. Make sure to check back often to see pictures of every new satellite we produce.
