Let's celebrate 7 years in space
Today we celebrate PROBA-V’s seventh birthday. ESA's small satellite was launched from Kourou, French Guyana On May 7, 2013 to serve the global land surface community with high-quality vegetation observations.
To celebrate its last 'operational' birthday we gathered a selection of best-of satellite images, interesting user quotes and memorable moments at www.proba-v.be.
Additionally, in these unprecedented times in which we are forced to stay, work, and communicate from home, we also created a series of beautiful virtual backgrounds for you to use in your online meeting platforms such as Teams, Zoom, ...
On 30 June 2020, PROBA-V will perform its last operational observations. But fortunately, due to the excellent radiometric and geometric performance, PROBA-V will enter an experimental phase from July 1, 2020 until October 30, 2021.

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.
