ESA’s 2026 Biomass MAAP Hackathon

October 12 - October 16
The European Space Operations Centre, Robert-Bosch-Strasse 5
Darmstadt, Hesse 64293 Germany

Background Biomass represents an innovative leap in Earth observation. As the seventh mission in ESA’s Earth Explorer Programme, it breaks new ground as the first satellite to deliver P-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) measurements from space. By utilizing a fully polarimetric system and collecting tomographic data, the mission provides a unique capability to penetrate dense …
