Abstract

The SPOT5/TAKE5 experiment benefited from the Earth observation SPOT5 satellite after the end of its commercial mission and before its de-orbiting by repurposing SPOT5 as a simulator for ESA’s Sentinel-2 constellation’s multitemporal series of optical images. Implementing TAKE5 represented a challenging opportunity for SPOT5 which had not been designed for such a mission.
