Two acquisition days of SPOT (Take5) were lost

In English SPOT5(Take5) THEIA

Olivier Hagolle, 11 août 2015

The programming of the 2nd and 3rd of August acquisitions failed for a complex reason which is now understood, and should not happen again. Please remember that the programming is done fully manually, as SPOT5 is not on its nominal orbit and that it requires a lot of work from the teams at CNES to program 150 images every 5 days..As a result, no data were acquired from the 01/08/2015, 21:2 :22 to the  03/08/2015, 22:25:44. The missing data correspond to the days 2 and 3 of SPOT5 (Take5) cycle. We are very sorry for those of you who counted on these data and who did in situ measurements on these days.

The missing link to valorize CESBIO’s applicative research works

=>  My colleagues at CESBIO are extremely creative! Over the past ten years, they have developed a wide range of new products and methods for extracting information from Copernicus data. They don’t just develop and validate the method on a few sites; they continue their work until they have produced data for the whole of […]

Ils ont mis au point, au cours des dix dernières années, un grand nombre de nouveaux produits et de méthodes d’extraction de l’information à partir des données Copernicus (Sentinel-1 et 2).

Sentinel-2 overtakes Landsat in scientific litterature

OpenAlex is a new, yet already very useful, open database for exploring scientific literature. For an upcoming blog post on the CNES Datacampus website, I analysed the proportion of papers that used only one of the Sentinel-2 or Landsat missions, as well as those that used both, in 2025. What struck me was that Sentinel-2 […]
