News & Events

Access new and improved Chlorophyll-a products via Terrascope. Chlorophyll-a products of Belgium are always available via the Terrascope viewer, EO services and openEO platform. Other regions can be processed upon request.

ESERO Belgium, the educational programme of the European Space Agency in Belgium, uses Terrascope in its brand new courses for secondary education. The goal is to learn secondary school students the added value of using EO data to improve climate change monitoring. The trainings include material to investigate a concrete climate-related problem – in this case flooding event in 2021 in the Yser Valley.

Some Sentinel-2 data are temporarily unavailable on Terrascope. During the implementation of the new Sentinel data retention policy a technical error occurred which led to the removal of data that should have stayed available. The data is already being restored and will be available again as soon as possible. Discover more about which data are missing and when they will be available again.

Terrascope provides a wide variety of Earth observation data, including various data sets from the Sentinel satellites. Here's overview of which data is available over Belgium or other countries and how long the data remains available.

We hereby inform you that we found an error in the vegetation indices for the products within the period 25/01/2022 – 10/05/2022. The error has been rectified in the NRT processing and data since 11/05/2022 are correct. Discover more about the reprocessing of the other Sentinel-2 vegetation products.

Following the Sentinel-1B anomaly that occurred on 23 December 2021 and the news that no new acquisitions are expected for at least a few months we give an overview of the impact on the Sentinel-1 related products and services accessible via Terrascope. 

In collaboration with the Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy (BIRA-IASB) we will expand our offer of Sentinel-5P TROPOMI data products. We will release daily, monthly and yearly averaged data products for methane, formaldehyde, and sulfur dioxide in our Terrascope viewer later this year. Further, we will collaborate with BIRA-IASB and the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) on an improved nitrogen dioxide product for the European region, which we expect to release in 2023.

A new year also means new and improved data and services. Discover which data products, EO services, technical updates and new features you can expect in 2022.
