Venµs 140 – 75 SPOT5 (Take5)

=> It might look like a basket ball score, but it is only the number of proposals received for VENµS and SPOT5 (Take5) calls. One day before VENµS’s deadline, on February the 16th, it looked like it would end as a draw, but 60 proposals were received on the last 24 hours by Gérard Dedieu, VENµS’s PI. In both cases, the number of proposed sites is even higher, since many proposals ask for several sites, sometimes up to ten, and I am afraid we will not be able to select all of them.

  • The 62 proposals received at ESA, plus the 13 received at CNES, were analysed and their accessibility is now being checked.
  • For VENµS, we are going to start reading. Great, I only have 139 proposals to read left…

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 […]

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 […]
