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.

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 […]
