MAJA Sentinel-2 L2A processor downloaded more than 200 times

Since spring 2017, we have made the MAJA cloud screening and atmospheric correction processor available for commercial use. A bit later, end of June, the Sen2agri software package, which includes MAJA older version (named MACCS) , was also released to the public. We did not expect a large success, as these two packages are quite heavy ones, do not work on laptops, and require a specific linux system powerful computers (Red Hat or CentOS).Anyway, the MAJA processor has had quite a large success, even if, I guess, it is far from the success of Sen2cor, which is much easier to install and use, even if the performances are not the same. The figures below correspond nearly to one download per day. 

Number of downloads of MAJA (stand alone version)93
Number of downloads of MACCS (Sen2Agri version)i116

 To celebrate this fact, we just published a brand new MAJA detailed description.

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 […]

Le chaînon manquant dans la valorisation des travaux de recherche en télédétection

=> Mes collègues du CESBIO sont très créatifs ! Ils ont mis au point, au cours des dix dernières années, un grand nombre de nouveaux produits et de méthodes d’extraction de l’information à partir des données Copernicus (Sentinel-1 et 2). Et bien souvent, ils ne s’arrêtent pas à la mise au point de la méthode […]

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 […]
