Theia has added seven new sites in Brazil, for which Sentinel-2 L2A are produced and distributed, starting in December 2016. These sites will be processed in near real time from now on. Data are produced by the MUSCATE system at CNES, using CNES-DLR MAJA processor. The products can be freely downloaded from https://theia.cnes.fr. These sites were […]
A very good piece of news: ESA started distributing Sentinel2-B data on Copernicus hub, two months ahead of schedule. This is really an achievement !Here is ESA’s announcement : Following the successful completion of the Sentinel-2B Satellite In-Orbit Commissioning Phase, we are happy to announce that access to Sentinel-2B Level-1C products will be opened to […]
After 3 years of development, we are very happy to share the news of Sen2Agri system release. Sen2Agri system is a fully automatic production system to produce agriculture information from Sentinel-2 data, with a focus on food security applications. For this reason, the final user meeting was held in Rome at Food and Agriculture Organization […]
=>THEIA passed two new milestones in this beginning of summer : Data are available from https://theia.cnes.fr
After having written rather bad news from MUSCATE for quite a long time, I am very happy to send good ones, and I have to restrain myself not to provide news every day. :)Here is the number of L2A products we are producing every day. The visible enhanced performance is due to several reasons :
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 Sentinel-2B satellite was launched in March 2017, and joined his twin brother Sentinel-2A, which was orbiting since June 2015. Both satellites are now succeeding each other above our heads every 5 days. Sentinel-2 system mission is to monitor the evolution of the landscape and especially vegetation, with an observation every fifth day. Very quickly, ESA managed […]
I have already mentioned that CNES teams working on MACCS cloud screening and atmospheric correction software and DLR teams working on ATCOR, decided to join their efforts to build a common software, named MAJA which stands for MACCS-ATCOR Joint Algorithm. And thankfully, a funding from ESA helps a lot this initiative. The MAJA code relies on MACCS […]
The number of L2A products from Sentinel-2 available at Theia, just passed above 10 000 ! Data from France, Belgium, North of Spain, Morocco, Tunisia, Senegal, the Burkina-Mali transect, or La Reunion Island are now processed in real time : our requirement is 60 hours, after the data is available in Copernicus hub. Next site […]
