Twice a year, there is a Landsat Science Team meeting, organised by USGS. One day is dedicated to LANDSAT news, and one or two days to the science team presentations. And what is good, is that the slides are made available just after the meeting. It is a good way to get news from LANDSAT, and […]
Patience is not my best quality. For instance, regarding the availability of Sentinel-2 data, I even had the orbit of two satellites changed to obtain time series quicker :). So you cannot imagine how happy I will be to watch Sentinel-2’s launch tonight, and how even my alarm at 2:30 am will sound as a […]
ESA and CNES are glad to announce they just opened the new distribution site for SPOT4 (Take5) and SPOT5 (Take5) with a brand new look and feel compared to the previous SPOT4 (Take5) site. All the SPOT4 (Take5) data are available and may be downloaded, but the SPOT5 (Take5) site is almost empty (except for […]
=> The CNES THEIA distribution site was closed for 3 weeks for renovation works. It just reopened with a new address : It is possible again to downloat the L2A LANDSAT data over France. Besides anan enhanced look and feel, there are two new possibilities : As it is a new version, you might […]
=> I had sometimes used the following home made logo for SPOT (Take5) experiments : the Paul Desmond standard is indeed based on a 5 beat rhythm, which is symbolized by the « 5 » on the time signature of the music score. The number 4 means that the beat corresponds to quarter notes. But the 4 […]
=> Attention, ce post contient des termes techniques J’avais utilisé parfois le logo suivant et tout à fait artisanal pour Take5 : le morceau Take5 de Paul Desmond est en effet un morceau sur un rythme à 5 temps, d’où le 5 sur l’armure. Le chiffrage de la mesure comporte également un dénominateur égal à 4 […]
=>Les serveurs de distribution de données LANDSAT et SPOT4 (Take5) du centre THEIA ont été arrêtés aujourd’hui, pour deux à trois semaines. Comme je l’écrivais il y a quelques jours, une nouvelle version de l’atelier de distribution va être mise en place. Il faut donc l’installer, migrer toutes les données et obtenir le feu vert […]
=> How to go from 1 image every 5 days to 24 images per second ?It was possible, thanks to CNES funding, thanks to an imaginative producer, Gérard Dedieu (who does not smoke cigars yet), thanks to a talented film director and scenarist, Thierry Gentet (the only film director who understands space mechanics), and thanks […]
=>Comment passer d’une image tous les 5 jours à 24 images par secondes ?C’est possible, grâce au soutien financier du CNES, grâce à un producteur plein d’idées, Gérard Dedieu (qui ne fume pas encore le cigare), grâce à un scénariste-réalisateur de talent (Thierry Gentet), le seul réalisateur de cinéma qui comprend la mécanique spatiale, et […]
