Question: Text: Evha Jannath, 11, was on a school trip on Tuesday when she fell from a boat on the Splash Canyon ride.
The park has stayed closed for a third day as police and the Health and Safety Executive investigate.
Alton Towers and Legoland Windsor have reopened similar water-based white knuckle rides.
The latest on this and other stories across Stoke and Staffordshire
Drayton Manor has not yet announced when the park, in Tamworth, Staffordshire, will reopen and Staffordshire Police could not confirm how long the force would remain at the scene.
Earlier, theme park operator Merlin Entertainments reopened the Congo River Rapids at Alton Towers and Legoland Windsor's Vikings River Splash, which had been closed as a precautionary measure following the schoolgirl's death.
The firm said Thorpe Park's Rumba Rapids was due to reopen on Friday afternoon.
The family said their "world was torn apart" following Evha's death.
Erfana Bora, the head teacher at Jameah Girls Academy the Islamic day school in Leicester that Evha attended, described the pupil as a "lovely, sweet-natured girl [who] was loved by everyone".
Staffordshire Police said Evha's post-mortem examination was expected to take place on Monday.
The Splash Canyon ride, which opened in 1993 and features up to 21 boats each with a capacity of six people, promises "a wild ride" with "fast-flowing rapids". Height restrictions are imposed and in some cases children are required to be accompanied by an adult.
summary: Investigations are continuing into the death of a girl who fell from a rapids ride at Drayton Manor as similar attractions across England reopen.
Text: Sentinel-3a, which was launched two weeks ago, will have a special focus on the oceans, measuring the colour, temperature and height of sea surfaces.
The information will be invaluable to weather forecasters, and to marine biologists trying to understand the health of global waters.
The first images show the Strait of Gibraltar, the Californian coast, and an ice-covered Svalbard archipelago.
They were acquired by the spacecraft's Ocean and Land Colour Instrument, OLCI.
As the name suggests, this sensor is not solely devoted to ocean work, and will gather data about land surfaces as well, monitoring the state of vegetation across the planet, for example.
"We received the first images on 29 February, but we've had to spend a bit of time working on them to get the calibration right," said Volker Liebig, the director of Earth observation at the European Space Agency (Esa).
"We're not ready with everything onboard the satellite yet, that's clear; but we thought it important to get the pictures out there," he told BBC News.
A few months of testing still lie ahead before the spacecraft begins routine observations.
Sentinel-3a is one in a series of satellites being procured for the European Union's Copernicus programme.
The data from this multi-billion-euro project is expected to drive myriad applications, ranging from air quality updates to crop-performance monitoring, from water-resource management to transport infrastructure planning.
Esa acts as the technical agent, scoping the design of the satellites and then getting industry to build them.
For Sentinel-3, all the follow-on models - b, c and d - have already been contracted, meaning there should be operational continuity in orbit extending through to at least 2030.
As well as OLCI, the new satellite has a radiometer to measure the temperature of ocean and land surfaces, and an altimeter to measure ocean height.
Together, these two instruments will be useful for tracking phenomena such as El Nino, which sees warm waters bulge in the eastern Pacific every few years. The current event - one of the largest on record - has triggered a disruption in weather patterns worldwide.
It is no surprise then that Europe's national meteorological agencies are particularly keen to get their hands on Sentinel-3 data, to use in their numerical forecasting models.
"Yes, Sentinel-3 is an ocean workhorse, but it's also a global workhorse," said Esa senior scientist Dr Craig Donlon.
"The vegetation products we'll get from OLCI in 21 bands will be really excellent, so there will be a huge amount we'll get out of it just looking at land surfaces. And then there's all the work it will do measuring ice surfaces, and rivers and lakes using its altimeter," he told BBC News.
Sentinel-3a joins two other series satellites already in orbit.
Sentinel-1a was launched in 2014 and is equipped with a radar to measure the shape of the Earth's surface; Sentinel-2a, which went up last year, has a colour camera to record how the land surface is being used and how that changes over time.
More Sentinels are coming, and the European Commission and Esa have even started to think about extending the initial suite of sensors.
There is a desire for Europe to have some kind of space-borne carbon-monitoring capability - a tool to check that countries are implementing policies to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
"This would be a multi-satellite mission," said Prof Liebig.
"The idea would be to have a first prototype satellite by 2025, let's say; and then a full system around 2030. But if we want to achieve this we have to start in this (EU) financial perspective."

Text: Malien handed Esperance a 2-1 defeat in Rades, near Tunis with striker Mamadou Coulibaly scoring the winner three minutes from time.
Stade Malien secured the win despite finishing the game with ten men after defender Ibrahim Keita was sent off just before half time
The visitors started well thanks to an opener from Abdoulaye Sissoko.
Fakhreddine Ben Youssef levelled the score for the hosts, before Coulibaly's late winner.
After three games, the two-time African champions Esperance are bottom of the Group A standings without a point, heaping more pressure on their French coach, Jose Anigo. Stade Malien have four points.
Holders, Al Ahly of Egypt sit at the top with seven points after their 1-0 win over Tunisia's Etoile du Sahel on Saturday night.
A first half strike from Waleed Soliman was enough for the Egyptian giants to win the contest on Saturday in Suez.
Soliman volleyed home from his unreliable right foot six minutes past the half-hour mark to ensure Ahly maintain their unbeaten run at the mini-league stage and remain on course for a place in the last four.
Ahly have one more point than Etoile who fell to their first group stage defeat.
On Sunday, fellow Egyptians Zamalek took a big stride towards the semi-finals by beating AC Leopards of Congo 2-0 to go nine points clear at the top of Group B.
Striker Bassem Morsy and playmaker Aymen Hefny scored in the first half as Zamalek continued their impressive run in the second tier continental club championship.
In the group's other match, also played on Sunday, South Africans Orlando Pirates pulled off a surprise 1-0 win over Tunisia's CS Sfaxien.
The decisive strike came from forward Thabo Rakhale just before half-time, handing Pirates a huge boost to their hopes of progressing to the last-four. They sit second in the table on six points - five ahead of both Leopards and Sfaxien.
summary:
Answer: Esperance lost to visitors Stade Malien in the African Confederation Cup group phase to suffer their third successive loss, as holders Al Ahly went top of the Group A standings with a win over Etoile du Sahel.
