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.
