15 000 !

Theia’s Sentinel-2 L2A counter passed the 15 000 threshold on the 26th of May. The joined image shows the zones which are available so far.   Recently, two more sites have been added to THEIA’s list of processed sites :

The western part of Iberian peninsula, including most of Portugal is now available.The region of Niger around Niamey has been added to the list of sites processed

 The production speed is increasing, although we still have limitations on the week-ends in reprocessing mode. To overcome this limitation, we are going to invert the priorities, and start pushing data from all sites in Near Real Time from December 2016, and, when all the planned sites are added to real time, start the reprocessing from December 2015.
