New cross-calibration readies PROBA-1 data for climate research
While PROBA-1 has already exceeded expectations by suppling over 21 years of Earth observation hyperspectral data, recent cross-calibration activities are aiming to ensure the data will robustly serve long time-series research, even when the satellite ends operations.

News - Data Release news
New Campaign datasets available
A new set of datasets is available, acquired during airborne campaigns conducted between 2014 and 2019
Mission - Third Party Missions
PROBA-1
PROBA-1 is a technology demonstration satellite that later became an operational Earth observation mission.
Campaign
SPARC
ESA's SPectra bARrax Campaign (SPARC) activity was part of the preparatory study for a proposed ESA Earth Explorer mission called SPECTRA. The objective was to collect a CHRIS/PROBA reference dataset for SPECTRA-related studies.
Activity - Quality
EDAP
The ESA Earthnet Data Assessment Pilot (EDAP) project will perform assessments for various missions to ensure the delivered data is fit for purpose.
Document - Technical Note
Note on CHRIS Acquisition Procedure and Image Geometry
The aim of this document is to clarify the acquisition procedure CHRIS on-board the PROBA satellite. It provides a detailed description of the acquisition procedure and summarises the implications for the geometrical properties of the CHRIS images.

Workshop on International Cooperation in Spaceborne Imaging Spectroscopy
The workshop aimed to recommend future international coordination permitting cooperation in the deployment, operation, and exploitation of space-based imaging spectrometers for terrestrial and coastal scientific and operational applications.
Event - Meeting
VH-RODA and CEOS SAR workshop
The workshop provided an open forum for the presentation and discussion of current status and future developments related to the calibration and validation of space borne very high-resolution SAR and optical sensors and data products.
Event - Meeting
Fluorescence (FLEX) 2019
The FLEX 2019 meeting consisted of a series of events addressing remote sensing of vegetation fluorescence.
Event - Conference
Living Planet Symposium 2019
ESA's Living Planet Symposia are amongst the biggest Earth observation conferences in the world. Scientists present their latest findings on Earth's environment and climate.
Mission - Earth Explorers
FLEX
The FLEX mission will provide global maps of vegetation fluorescence, which can be converted into an indicator of photosynthetic activity.
