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 operation.

Release of CHRIS PROBA-1 toolbox for SNAP
PROBA -1 continues to provide valuable hyperspectral data to the scientific community, and so the tools to handle this data have been incorporated into ESA’s SNAP multi-mission toolbox.
Data - Data Description
Proba-1 CHRIS Level 1A
CHRIS acquired a set of up to five images of each target during each acquisition sequence, these images were acquired when Proba-1 was pointing at distinct angles with respect to the target. CHRIS Level 1A products (supplied in HDF data files, version 4.1r3) include five formal CHRIS imaging modes, classified as modes 1 to 5: Mode Name Swath Spectral Bands Nadir ground sampling distance MODE 1 Full swath width 62 (773nm / 1036nm) 34m @ 556km MODE 2 WATER BANDS Full swath width 18 17m @ 556km MODE 3 LAND CHANNELS Full swath width 18 17m @ 556km MODE 4 CHLOROPHYL BAND SET Full swath width 18 17m @ 556km MODE 5 LAND CHANNELS Half swath width 37 17m @ 556km Spatial coverage: Check the spatial coverage of the collection on a map available on the Third Party Missions Dissemination Service.

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.

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.
