Level 1 : 1 mn, Level 2 : 2 mn

=> These figures are the overall rhythm of production for SPOT5 (Take5) for Level 1C and level 2A production, in the MUSCATE factory within the CNES computing center. But it is a pity that conditioning the data to upload them on the distribution center (https://spot-take5.org) is in fact much longer (several minutes per product). It is interesting to see that in the present implementation of our ground segment prototype, the processing time is negligible compared to the preparation and upload times. We now know where to invest in the near future. As a result, all the SPOT5 (Take5) data acquired until end of may have been processed, and they should appear soon on the distribution server, but they are not yet there. We still have to ask for some more patience. To help you wait, here are a few Level2A images acquired over Litchfield site in Australia. If you click on the images, you will see that dark zones progressively appear, which are not cloud shadows, but probably due to bush fires. On the 28th of April, smoke is visible (its shadow is not detected, we still need to enhance our method).

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 […]

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 […]

IOTA2 software mailing list

Hello everyone, We have just created a mailing list for users of the IOTA2 software (iota2 — iota2 documentation). The tool will undergo significant developments in the coming months, and the purpose of this list is to communicate with the community to support these changes and to maintain the processing workflows needed by the users.
