10-day Spot Vegetation product. Proba-V’s follow-on Vegetation instrument will view most of Earth’s land daily and all of it every two days. Accounting for cloud cover, a complete image of Earth should be available to users every ten days.
Data will be downlinked once per orbit to a ground station (ESA’s Kiruna site in the Swedish Arctic during the commissioning phase) then relayed to the Flemish institute for technological research (VITO) in Belgium where results will be processed and distributed to users. This processing will take place on a near-realtime basis into one-day and ten-day products (plus, if requested, the raw 100 m-resolution product available from the instrument's nadir view).
