We have had to cancel the production of VENµS L1C and L2A products for one month, because the footprints of VENµS images tend to change more than anticipated. The ground segment recognizes the sites by the coordinates of the corners, and the tolerances were not large enough. This problem has been understood and corrected by […]

The VENµS satellite was launched in August 2017, with two missions : As a result, VENµS has had different phases separated by orbital changes. It’s imaging phases are VM1 at 720 km altitude, which lasted for three years, and the current VM5 phase at 560 km altitude, which started in March 2022. So, what will […]

Here are some long awaited news about the VENµS VM5 phase. The acquisitions started end of March 2022 with the following list of sites, and should go on for at least one year, and maybe more depending on the consumption of fuel (Hydrazine) to maintain the orbit. Most of the sites are acquired with a […]

VENµS, the French-Israeli satellite that goes up and down, reached its new orbit on the first of March, and after first tunings of the programming and telemetry, we have started having our first steady acquisitions on March the 15th. This new phase is called the VM5 phase. On the selected sites, images will be taken […]
