Just in from our colleagues at @esa's Earth Observation centre outside Rome: footage of the ERS-2 satellite passing over the area yesterday😍🛰️

In the video you can see the fly-by in real speed and slowed down to a quarter of that speed (the satellite was in and out of the frame in 166 frames at 100fps, which is very fast 🏃‍♀️around 1 second and a half).

-- A note on the ground track --
We are aware that our ground tracks have differed slightly compared to those shared by other sources. This is due to the different valid ways of handling the various assumptions and uncertainties involved. In order to better facilitate comparison, we have adapted our methodology to be consistent with other sources. This is effective as of the 12:30 CET update on the ‘live updates’ blog page.
