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.
