[MUSCATE News] Theia production is stalled (solved)

Update (18/08/2020): all the issues have been corrected, MUSCATE production and distribution have resumed.

Update (17/08/2020):  production has resumed, but it will take us a couple of days to catch the backlog up.  The download site is still offline, but this should be solved quickly.

 

Following the failure of an equipement which hosts the database of MUSCATE processing center, the production of Venµs and Sentinel-2 level 2 and 3 data is stalled since the 11th of August. The technical teams are working to solve the issue, and we hope to resume production this afternoon.

After many attempts, CNES’s Pléiades satellites finally captured a clear-sky view of the source area of the devastating flood in Nepal. The stereoscopic acquisition enables the generation of a high-resolution DEM and consequently a geometrically accurate orthorectified image. Although I’m not involved in the scientific analysis, I could not resist taking a closer look at […]

New clear-sky image of the Rasuwa rock-ice avalanche

On 08 Sep 2026, Sentinel-2 acquired a clear-sky image near the release area of the landslide which caused the catastrophic flood in Nepal. Using this image and a pre-event digital elevation model (Berthier 2026) we can analyze the upper part of the avalanche runout profile. The block of rock and ice was released near 5120 […]
