A satellite full of surprises
With only a few weeks to go till PROBA-V’s seventh birthday, marking the final countdown of its operational mission, we’re happy to release a series of memorable moments and testimonials provided by key Earth Observation colleagues closely associated in the SPOT VEGETATION and PROBA-V missions.
To celebrate its successful path and the new adventures still to come, we compiled these PROBA-V memoires and published them online, together with a selection of our most fascinating images captured from all around the world.
Discover the more than 15 stories and 50 images of our small but brave satellite that was launched in May 2013 with the intention to monitor our Earth’s surface for 2,5 years, but provided us all with so much more ...
SPOT-VEGETATION data collection migration
Dear user,
We are currently in progress of phasing out legacy portals step by step. This means the current data distribution system www.vito-eodata.be will be replaced by a new catalogue, named OSCARS (Open Search Catalogue for Remote Sensing data). A complementary user interface will be updated as well using todays technologies and a modern and intuitive user interface.
All our Copernicus Sentinel collections can already be found using the Terrascope viewer application in which you can browse, view, compare, export the different collections. The next step is to add the entire archive of SPOT-VEGETATION data to the new catalogue system for further exploration in parallel to the existing collection, expected to be exposed around the end of June 2021. The existing SPOT-VEGETATION collection on the www.vito-eodata.be portal will be entirely phased out on September 30, 2021.
In a following step the newly reprocessed PROBA-V Collection 2 data will be ingested as well in the new catalogue. Finally, the www.vito-eodata.be portal will be completely phased out, expected 2022.
In case of any specific questions, please contact our helpdesk at helpdesk@vgt.vito.be.
