Following its declaration by the United Nations in 1999, World Space Week has continued to annually celebrate the benefits of space and space exploration for mankind. This year’s theme is ‘Remote Sensing: Enabling our future’ and puts the spotlight to Earth Observation space missions such as PROBA-V. World Space Week inspires the organization of events around the world and brings space and society closer together.
This collage of PROBA-V images at 100 m and 300 m resolution show Mother Earth in all its glory. Together with the indispensable SPOT-VEGETATION time series, PROBA-V facilitates users to exploit nearly 18 years of global vegetation data for different applications: from global environmental and agricultural monitoring to coastal and inland water applications.
