PROBA-V images Antarctica
Dear PROBA-V user,
At the end of 2017 we were happy to inform you that due to large interest we decided to acquire PROBA-V data over Antarctica from November 2017 up to February 2018.
We are now pleased to inform you that the campaign is finished.
The 1 km, 300 m and 100 m products of Antarctica are online available via the distribution platform in the respective product collections.
Furthermore, all products are mounted on the PROBA-V Mission Exploitation Platform Virtual Machines, providing immediate access to the data with a powerful set of tools and libraries next to processing capacity. Products are processed up to L2A and provided in a polar stereographic projection for your convenience.
The image above shows an example of a seamless mosaic of all orbits needed, projected and cropped to the land borders. The pop-up image on the left shows all the orbits needed to image the total land mass of Antarctica in 1 km or 300 m resolution.
For any additional questions or remarks, please do not hesitate to contact us at helpdeskticket@vgt.vito.be

PROBA-V: What's next?
Unfortunately all good stories come to an end, even so for PROBA-V. After more than 6 year of operations of this “gap filler” satellite between SPOT-VEGETATION and Sentinel-3, 2020 marks the end of the operational mission.
PROBA-V’s operational lifetime will run until June 30, 2020. This means all daily and 10-daily products will be guaranteed in near-real-time until that date. Let’s give you a short update on what will change the upcoming months, before and after June 2020.
