Full Name PROBA-V Status Mission complete
Mission Agencies ESA, BELSPO Launch Date 07 May 2013
Mission Links mission site | data access portal EOL Date 31 Oct 2021
EO Portal Info NORAD Catalog # 39159 (TLE)
International Designator 2013-021A
Orbit Type Sun-synchronous Orbit Period
Orbit Sense Descending Orbit Inclination 98.73 deg
Orbit Altitude 820 km Orbit Longitude
Orbit LST 10:30 to 11:30 Repeat Cycle 2 days
Objectives and Applications The PROBA-V mission’s main multispectral imager extends the 15-year dataset of Spot-4 & Spot-5’s Vegetation instrument, delivering global coverage every two days for uses including climate impact assessments, surface water resource management, agricultural monitoring, and food security estimates. From July 2020, owing to its orbital drift, Proba-V is no longer considered as a mission fulfilling an operational role, and will instead be dedicated to experimental activities with a reduced data acquisition scheme.
