Every day, VITO Remote Sensing processes a wide range of satellite images, ranging from low to very high resolution optical missions, all with their own specifications.
VITO Remote Sensing host the entire SPOT-VEGETATION and PROBA-V data archive (1998-2020) hereby providing a valuable data set for agriculture, global land cover and vegetation monitoring.
Since 2017 VITO Remote Sensing also operates the Belgian collaborative ground segment Terrascope, under the authority of the European Space Agency (ESA) and in close collaboration with the Belgian Science Policy Office (BELSPO). Via Terrascope users worldwide can access open-source satellite images, including the open and free data from the Copernicus Sentinel.
Alongside the vegetation time series, VITO Remote Sensing is also systematically processing other low resolution data from satellites such as METOP-AVHRR.
Additionally, we have have expanded our processing portfolio to higher resolution missions, systematically hosting and processing data from Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Sentinel-3, Sentinel-5P and Landsat-8, etc serving the local and global public and private sector.
