Level-2 News

Open Cosmos announces OpenConstellation.
OpenConstellation is a global shared satellite infrastructure. The project aims for a total of 25 satellites, “with a mix of spatial and spectral resolution”. The first 6 satellites are scheduled to launch this November.

EnMAP records the largest erosion cirque in the world.
“On the 8th of July 2022, the spaceborne hyperspectral sensor EnMAP took an image over the Makhtesh Ramon basin complemented by field measurements of scientists from the Remote Sensing Laboratory of the Tel-Aviv University. Makhtesh Ramon is one of the test sites of the EnMAP validation campaign used for validating EnMAP reflectance data products (Level 2A) due to its mineral and rock formation richness contained in a very small area of only 40 km x 7 km.”
