The Level 2A products lose weight

In English SPOT4 (Take 5)

Olivier Hagolle, 10 octobre 2013

This discreet bug was spotted by Mireille Huc a couple of weeks ago, but it had been bothering all SPOT4(Take5) data users for2 months : the L2A products were twice larger than necessary. The bug occurred when converting data to GeoTIFF format,  it happened only on the production computer and not on the test computer. Unnecessary data were added to the files, which did not prevent us from reading the useful data normally.
 The data have been corrected and loaded on the distribution server on October 10th. We advise you to download them again, they will take much less space on your disks.

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 […]
