As agreed by CNES, the Sentinel-HR phase-0 study report has been published on HAL. This report can therefore be widely shared and cited in your own work:

Julien Michel, Olivier Hagolle, Anne Puissant, Pierre-Alexis Herrault, Thomas Corpetti, et al.. Sentinel-HR Phase 0 Report. [Research Report] CNES – Centre national d’études spatiales; CESBIO. 2022. ⟨hal-03643411⟩

This report summarizes 15 months of work from a small team at CNES, helped by an enthusiast scientific mission group, and with a greatly appreciated support and small funding from the prospective team at CNES. It is organised as follows:

  • Chapter 1 describes the programmatic context of the mission as well as objectives and means of the phase-0 study
  • Chapter 2 describes Sentinel-HR expected benefits through 12 application use-cases
  • Chapter 3 describes two possible designs for the mission : one uses a pair of ad-hoc satellites, the other use 12 modified CO3D satellites
  • Chapter 4 presents our work on spatio-temporal fusion and super-resolution in order to assess the feasiblity of Sentinel-HR / Sentinel-2 (NG) hybrid products

Many thanks to all (often benevolent) contributors !

The missing link to valorize CESBIO’s applicative research works

=>  My colleagues at CESBIO are extremely creative! Over the past ten years, they have developed a wide range of new products and methods for extracting information from Copernicus data. They don’t just develop and validate the method on a few sites; they continue their work until they have produced data for the whole of […]

Le chaînon manquant dans la valorisation des travaux de recherche en télédétection

=> Mes collègues du CESBIO sont très créatifs ! Ils ont mis au point, au cours des dix dernières années, un grand nombre de nouveaux produits et de méthodes d’extraction de l’information à partir des données Copernicus (Sentinel-1 et 2). Et bien souvent, ils ne s’arrêtent pas à la mise au point de la méthode […]

Sentinel-2 overtakes Landsat in scientific litterature

OpenAlex is a new, yet already very useful, open database for exploring scientific literature. For an upcoming blog post on the CNES Datacampus website, I analysed the proportion of papers that used only one of the Sentinel-2 or Landsat missions, as well as those that used both, in 2025. What struck me was that Sentinel-2 […]
