We will no longer provide Orfeo toolbox on the Terrascope user VMs.

If you are currently using CGLS datasets via Terrascope openEO, we kindly ask you to update your workflows and prepare for the transition to CDSE openEO.

As part of this upgrade, the current QGIS installation will first be removed and then reinstalled using a new deployment method.

Now, the production of yearly global land cover maps at 10 m resolution (and year-to-year change maps) is part of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service. We are pleased to announce that Terrascope now also offers this information product (LCM-10).

This migration affects all users of the Terrascope openEO platform and requires action before June 15, 2026.

EO data sizes are huge, and storage is becoming more expensive, so we need to think about how we can adress this challenge. The CORSA compression and decompression processes in openEO provide a solution, by reducing the size of a Sentinel-2 scene by more than 20x, without any significant loss of quality.

We have great plans for 2026 at Terrascope. Please read on for more details.

Terrascope has been honoured with two awards at the BeGeo Awards 2026, receiving recognition in the categories Capacity Building & Education and Geo-intelligence in Action. This double achievement highlights Terrascope’s growing impact within the Belgian and international geospatial ecosystem.
