Copernicus is an updated environmental and security research program supported and managed by the European Commission with the European Space Agency, Member States, and EU agencies. The aim is to use the vast amount of data from satellites and terrestrial, air, and marine measurement systems to obtain timely and quality information, services, and knowledge, and to provide independent access to environmental and safety information globally to help service providers, government agencies and other international organizations to improve the people's quality of life.
