ERS-2, which overlapped with ERS-1, was launched in 1995 with an additional sensor for atmospheric ozone research. ERS 1 was taken out of action in 2000 after nine years of service.","keywords":"","identifier_set":["https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/identifiers/4304/?format=json","https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/identifiers/4305/?format=json"],"platformType":"satellite","parentPlatform":[],"childPlatform":[],"responsiblepartyinfo_set":["https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/28438/?format=json","https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/28437/?format=json"]}
