As a clockwork

In English SPOT4 (Take 5)

Olivier Hagolle, 1 février 2013

(version française)So far, so good for SPOT4 (Take5) experiment ! First images were acquired yesterday (January the 31st), and will be downloaded to earth tomorrow (February the 2nd), but moreover, CNES programmed two acquisitions this morning followed by a download, so that we may check that everything goes well before the week-end. And, as a matter of fact……everything went as a clockwork : the download, inventory, upload to Astrium catalogue, and level 1A production. One of the pictures was taken above Ukraine, and the other one above Kuwait. One of them was cloudy, here is the other one.

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 […]
