How to automatically download Sentinel data from PEPS collaborative ground segment

=>

peps_download

This is a simple piece of code to automatically download the products provided by the French Sentinel collaborative ground segment named PEPS : https://peps.cnes.fr. PEPS is mirroring all the Sentinel data provided by ESA, and is providing a simplified access.This code was written thanks to the precious help of one my colleagues at CNES Jérôme Gasperi who developed the « rocket » interface which is used by Peps.This code relies on python 2.7 and on the curl utility. Because of that, I guess it only works with linux.The tool is available on my github repository : https://github.com/olivierhagolle/peps_download

Examples

This software is still quite basic, but if you have an account at PEPS, you may download products using command lines like

  • python ./peps_download.py -c S2 -l 'Toulouse' -a peps.txt -d 2015-11-01 -f 2015-12-01 which downloads the Sentinel-2 products above Toulouse, acquired in November 2015.
  • python ./peps_download.py -c S2 --lon 1 --lat 43.5 -a peps.txt -d 2015-11-01 -f 2015-12-01 which downloads the Sentinel-2 products above –lon 1 –lat 43.5 (~Toulouse), acquired in November 2015.
  • python ./peps_download.py -c S1 --lonmin 1 --lonmax 2 --latmin 43 --latmax 44 -a peps.txt -d 2015-11-01 -f 2015-12-01 which downloads the Sentinel-1 products in latitude, longitude box around Toulouse, acquired in November 2015.

Authentification

The file peps.txt must contain your email address and your password on the same line, such as follows :your.email@address.fr top_secretTo get an account : https://peps.cnes.fr/rocket/#/register

Dates de fauche en France

En 2024, des collègues du Cesbio ont publié un article* sur la cartographie de la date de fauche en France en 2022 à partir des données satellitaires Sentinel-2.   Leur magnifique figure 10 a attiré mon attention. La version à haute résolution fournie avec l’article (2861 × 2911 pixels) correspond à une image dont les pixels font […]

Évolution du jour de déneigement dans les Alpes françaises et les Pyrénées

Les socio-écosystèmes des Alpes et des Pyrénées dépendent étroitement des fluctuations annuelles du manteau neigeux. En particulier, le moment de l’année où la neige disparait détermine le début de la saison de croissance de la végétation de montagne et donc la période des estives. Le changement climatique est en train de bouleverser ce rythme saisonnier. […]

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 […]
