Through consulting the wider user/scientific community, progress made in the ESA's Long Term Program for Earth Observation is reviewed and an attempt to ensure that the program meets updated user requirements is made. The progress review covered ERS-1 and ERS-2, the Earth Observation Preparatory Program (EOPP), the Polar Platform Program, Artistoteles, the Solid Earth mission, and Metosat Second Generation. The modularity of the Polar Platform is discussed, and the candidate payload instruments for the first Polar Mission (EPOP-MI) are listed. The need to agree on topics that must be addressed and the role of spaceborne instrumentation within the fields of environment resource management, solid Earth, and meteorology was stressed.
