Launch of new CLEOPE service

We are happy to announce the launch of the new CLEOPE (CLoud Earth Observation Processing Environment) service for our users.
CLEOPE is an interactive web-based platform of EO products discovery, manipulation and visualisation via Jupyter Notebooks providing users with an integrated development environment where to create their own applications on the Cloud.
As an added value, CLEOPE offers a collection of pre-installed libraries and template notebooks supported by a Python 3 kernel to enhance the first-time user experience with the ONDA [...]

Launch of the new Managed ONDA Storage (MOST) service

ONDA is launching the new “Managed ONDA Storage (MOST)” service, which allows users to optimize the performance in accessing ONDA data, reduce costs and improve productivity.
This new ONDA service meets the expectations of those users requiring access to a massive volume of data.

Driven by [...]

Results of project developed by CNR-IREA using the ONDA platform published on renowned journal

A public paper on the surface deformation analysis project developed by CNR-IREA – the Institute for Electromagnetic Sensing of the Environment (IREA) of the National Research Council (CNR) of Italy – has been published on the peer-reviewed open access journal Remote Sensing.
The article presents an advanced processing pipeline for the generation of continental scale differential synthetic aperture radar (DInSAR) deformation time series.
The solution is based on the parallel small baseline subset (P-SBAS) approach and on the joint exploitation of Sentinel-1 [...]
