VENµS: Call for site proposals for daily observations

From November 2021 on and for at least one year, the French-Israeli VENµS Earth observation satellite launched in 2017 will enter a new phasis. It will then acquire everyday images with a resolution of 4m in 12 spectral bands for the scientific community.

In 2016, the Vietnam Space Center (VNSC) and the United States Aerospace Agency (NASA) signed a cooperation agreement - GLOBE - a program to use satellite technology to improve human understanding of changes on earth. Accordingly, the satellites of NASA and VNSC will conduct observations and studies of data under the Project of Land Cover and Land Use Change (LCLUC). From there, increase the understanding and contribute to solving important issues such as air pollution, landslides, floods, forest degradation and water pollution.

Webinar : High-Res How-To for Tropical Forests

The webinar "High Res How-to: for tropical forests” took place on 15 December 2020. A panel of experts from various organizations, companies and countries discussed how to use the universally available high resolution satellite imagery of tropical forests. The event is part of the new webinar series #HighRes4forests hosted by the Global Forest Observations Initiative (GFOI) and organized in cooperation with the Norway’s International Climate and Forest Initiative (NICFI) and its partners.
