SPOT4 (Take5) / Progress report

In English SPOT4 (Take 5) THEIA

Olivier Hagolle, 16 février 2013

=> SPOT4(Take5) experiment started two weeks ago, here is a progress report :

  • Image acquisitions are progressing nominally, but the weather above France is very poor. Other sites are much better off.
  • Production of Level 1A images started at SpotImage. It is done once a week, on Thursdays. Accounting for the delay before image download, up to 2 weeks may happen between an image acquisition and level 1A product delivery.
  • First ortho-images have been generated, and the fusion of 4 SPOT4 images works fine and almost seamlessly.
  • As soon as we get our first time series above a given site, we will start testing and tuning the Level 2A methods (Cloud detection, atmospheric corrections)
  • The MUSCATE processing centre of the French Land Thematic Centre started its adaptation to SPOT4. Modifications will take a few weeks, and after that we will be able to start operational production.

Évolution du jour de déneigement dans les Alpes françaises et les Pyrénées

Les socio-écosystèmes des Alpes et des Pyrénées dépendent étroitement des fluctuations annuelles du manteau neigeux. En particulier, le moment de l’année où la neige disparait détermine le début de la saison de croissance de la végétation de montagne et donc la période des estives. Le changement climatique est en train de bouleverser ce rythme saisonnier. […]

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 […]
