The European Space Agency (ESA) information link, ESRIN, is described. Located in Frascati, Italy, ESRIN is the Center in which data from numerous sources is acquired, processed, and archived, for use throughout ESA member states. Much of the information handled by ESRIN is in written form, except for data of the Earthnet program. Earthnet receives data from Earth observation satellites through its network of ground stations stretching form the North of Sweden to the Canary Islands. Besides Earthnet, two other sectors of activity are found on the ESRIN site: (1) the ESA information Retrieval Service (ESA-IRS) which is Europe's largest on-line information service; and (2) the Information Systems Division (ISD) which was set up in 1988 to harmonize information handling systems within ESA's programs, and with the Agency's contractors and its scientific communities.
