We will play Take5 until the end of Spring !

In English SPOT4 (Take 5)

Olivier Hagolle, 29 mars 2013

=> The end of SPOT4 (Take5) experiment was initially planned the 28th of May, but CNES just decided to extend it until the end of Spring.  The last SPOT4 images should be acquired around June the 21st. In France, and in many other countries, June 21st is the « Music Day » : we will be playing Take5 ’til the Music Day. In France, this extra time will enable us to monitor the end of winter crops and the start of summer crops, we will also see the end of snow melt in the mountains, and we will have more data to validate our algorithms. The total duration of the experiment will be around 5 months Many thanks to our CNES colleagues !

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 […]
