SPOT4 (Take5) Licence

In English SPOT4 (Take 5)

Olivier Hagolle, 24 mai 2013

=> CNES and Astrium Geo (Spotimage) have agreed to distribute the SPOT4 (Take5) data with a very open license, which was just released. As always with the elaboration of legal agreements, the process was rather long and complicated, but here, the result is very positive. If I understand correctly (you’d better read the document, which is the only official version), anyone can use this data with the following few conditions:

  • use must be conducted within the SPOT4 (Take5) project  framework,  to prepare for the use Sentinel-2 data.
  • the data can not be resold, even after minor changes (this is normal, as they are freely available!)
  • services can be marketed from these data, in the frame of SPOT4 (Take5) project, to prefigure the use of Sentinel-2 data.
  • users must inform the CNES of how they use the data, and address any publication using these data to olivier.hagolle% cnes.fr and sylvia.sylvander %cnes.fr.

Rapid analysis of the GLOF in Gupis, Gilgit-Baltistan

Pakistan news media reported that a glacier lake outburst flood (the failure of a dam containing a glacial lake) occurred near Gupis, Gilgit-Baltistan, a highly mountainous region administered by Pakistan. Satellite images show that the flood triggered a debris flow, which reached the Gupis valley where it hit the Roshan (Rashon) village and blocked the […]

BIOMASS, the third launched satellite mission designed at CESBIO !

After SMOS in 2009, and VENµS in 2017, the CESBIO laboratory is very proud to see its third proposed mission, Biomass, reach orbit. As always, it has been a long journey from the idea, at the beginning of the century, to the selection in 2013 as the seventh Earth Explorer Mission by ESA, to the […]
