3 more weeks of SPOT5 (Take5) data added to distribution server

=> Three more weeks of data (L1C) have been added to the SPOT5 (Take5) distribution server. The corresponding L2A data should appear very soon, but the dtata transfer takes a long time. The data acquired until the 24th of July are now available here : https://spot-take5.org.

  • The file format for both Level 1C and Level 2A is described here.
  • Some explanations on how the the distribution server works are available here.

We are now starting to see very nice time series, such as this one near Valencia, Spain, where rice is grown and on which we can see the watering of the fields early may, which is done progressively, area per area, and the start of vegetation growth in June.

BIOMASS, the third launched satellite mission designed at CESBIO !

After SMOS in 2009, and VENµS in 2017, the CESBIO Laboratory is very proud to see its third proposed mission, Biomass, reach orbit. As always, it has been a long journey from the idea, at the beginning of the century, to the selection in 2013 as the seventh Earth Explorer Mission by ESA, to the […]

Copernicus should keep S2A operational after S2C launch

The launch of Sentinel-2C (S2C) is scheduled on the 4th of September 2024, next week ! After 3 months of commissioning phase, S2C will replace S2A, to fulfill the Sentinel-2 mission together with S2B. S2B will later be replaced by S2D. The current plans are to keep S2A as a redundant satellite, in case something […]
