PROBA-V’s companion explores low-cost remote sensing
With the launch of PROBA-V’s Companion CubeSat (PV-CC), ESA supports a future where clusters of cheaper, small satellites could complement full-scale missions for Earth observation.
Meet one of ESA's first Africa Programme Research Fellows
Research Fellow, Dr Gladys Mosomtai, from the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (icipe), works on applying Earth observation data to better understand the spread of infectious disease in livestock, in Kenya.
PROBA-V data improve surface albedo products in Africa
As ESA’s PROBA-V satellite marks its 10-year launch milestone, data tasked during the mission’s lifetime are still being used to assess changes in land cover.
PROBA-V ‘Collection 2’ - Reprocessed Dataset available
The improved PROBA-V data (Collection 2) has been released. Data is available via the PROBA-V MEP and Terrascope platforms so users can freely exploit the data using Virtual machines, Jupyter Notebooks, and the new viewing application.
Global understanding of Earth's land surfaces greatly boosted by satellite data
ESA perform land surface monitoring with a range of instruments onboard satellites acquiring optical and radar data. Collections of data from these missions are freely available for research purposes.
Campaign using surface reflectance data to support validation of Earth observation products
Scientists from around the world are set to take part in a drone monitoring campaign and inter-comparison exercise that will deliver surface reflectance data to support the validation of Earth observation products.
Satellite data boost global understanding of land surface
Understanding our changing land surface is essential in the study of climate change. Satellites are used to monitor changes to the material that covers Earth’s surface, so-called land cover, such as vegetation and water.
Ship trails in the Bay of Biscay observed using PROBA-V imagery
Ship trails have been perceived as convincing evidence of aerosol-cloud interaction. Ship emissions have been proven to contribute by about 1.9% and 2.9% to the increase in the global total and fine-mode aerosol optical thickness (AOT) respectively over a five year period (Peters et al. 20212).
1 km resolution aerosol optical thickness retrieved from PROBA-V
The ESA SPAR@MEP project aims to deliver a long-term data record (LTDR) of aerosol optical properties and surface reflectance from SPOT-VGT and PROBA-V observations.
PROBA-V - ESA's vegetation monitoring mission
ESA's vegetation-monitoring mission - Proba-V - will end operations in June 2020 after seven years.
FRM4VEG: Fiducial Reference Measurements for Vegetation
Fiducial Reference Measurements for Vegetation (FRM4VEG) is an ESA managed project focused on establishing the protocols required for traceable in-situ measurements of vegetation
PV-LAC-ATMO
The objective of PV-LAC-ATMO Activity is to investigate the added value of a joint surface reflectance.
PV-CDRR
The objective of the Proba-V Cloud Detection Round Robin (PV-CDRR) is to learn advantages and drawbacks of the different approaches for various cloud and surface conditions.
PV-LAC-COAST
The PV-LAC project objectives are to develop, test, and validate two advanced algorithms for the scientific exploitation of the Proba-V mission products.
PROBA-V global land cover maps released
Copernicus Global Land Service team have released their new set of global land cover layers for the year 2015.
PROBA-V data available over Antarctica
Due to a huge amount of interest, it was decided to acquire PROBA-V data over Antarctica from November 2017 to February 2018.
PROBA-V 2018-2019 Antarctica data now available
For the second consecutive austral summer season, PROBA-V observed Antarctica and its ongoing changes.
