In order to prepare for the exploitation of Sentinel-2 type of time series, the European Space Agency in collaboration with CNES, USGS and RapidEye, collected an unprecedented time series dataset with a 5-day revisit at high resolution derived from SPOT-4 (during its deorbiting phase), Landsat-8 and RapidEye satellites over 14 selected sites around the world.

This activity follows one of the major recommendations voiced at the Sentinel-2 preparatory symposium in 2012, which was asking to make Sentinel-2 type time series available to of scientific community and support the development of time series analysis in preparation for the exploitation of the Sentinel-2 mission.
