MUSCATE 20 – COVID 19

Yes, so far MUSCATE is winning against COVID !

MUSCATE is THEIA land data production center in CNES. Although everyone in the production and development team is working from home, in good health so far, the production is still on, as you may see on the counters. We even passed the 10 000 products milestone on Landsat 8 (we produce France and overseas territories only), and the next milestone should be for Sentinel-2 : 200 000.

We should thank a lot the production team, because it must be quite hard to manage, with the small screens of laptops and the reduced network bandwidth  at home. Thanks ! The production team even added a new Sentinel-2 site, the whole Madagascar island, but it is worth another post.

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 […]

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 […]
