TRE and the Polytechnic University of Milan, in collaboration with the Department of Earth Sciences (University of Florence) are monitoring the movement of the cruise ship Costa Concordia, which partially sank off the coast of Giglio Island, Italy, on 13th January 2012.
High resolution images from the Italian COSMO-SkyMed constellation of satellites are being used to provide information on the position and movement of the ship, for integration with ground warning systems. The analysis results are being continuously delivered to the Italian Civil Protection Department within hours of satellite acquisition.
