A long way for a little satellite
The PROBA-1 satellite, a technology demonstrator later turned into an Earth observation mission – and just a cubic metre in volume – is reaching 20 years of continuity, making it a huge success.

A-comparison-of-superresolution-reconstruction-methods-for-multiangle-CHRIS-Proba-images.pdf
This paper presents the results of three superresolution methods applied to multiangular CHRIS/Proba data: three methods, namely non-uniform interpolation and de-convolution, iterative back-projection, and total variation are examined.

Assessment of Canopy Structure and Heterogeneity from Multi-Angular CHRIS-PROBA Data
The spaceborne ESA-mission CHRIS-PROBA (Compact High Resolution Imaging Spectrometer-Project for On-board Autonomy) provides hyperspectral and multi-angular data of selected terrestrial targets (Barnsley et al. 2004). For vegetated surfaces, the spectral information content of CHRIS data may yield the biochemical and biophysical properties of a vegetation canopy, while the directional component may deliever additional information on its canopy structure. Here, the multi-angular CHRIS observations are investigated and related to surface structure using the parametric RahmanPinty-Verstraete (RPV) model.

BIOMASS-Report-for-Mission-Selection-An-Earth-Explorer-to-observe-forest-biomass.pdf
The objective of the BIOMASS Mission is to determine the global distribution of forest biomass by reducing the uncertainty in the calculation of carbon stock and fluxes associated with the terrestrial biosphere.
Campaign
CEFLES2
The objective of the CEFLES2 campaigns was to provide key reference data and background knowledge for the preparatory phases of the Sentinel‐2 and FLEX missions.

Comparing Three Canopy Reflectance Models with Hyperspectral Multi-Angular Satellite Data
Studies that compare modelled reflectances with satellite-measured reflectances for different wavelengths and view angles are still rare. We compared model outputs from three different canopy reflectance models (SLC, FRT and INFORM) with satellite measured reflectances (Chris/PROBA).

Correction-of-systematic-spatial-noise-in-push-broom-hyperspectral-sensors.pdf
We present a new technique that faces the problem of removing the spatiallycoherent noise known as vertical striping, usually found in images acquired by push-broom sensors.
