The PROBA-V CubeSat Companion (PVCC) is a technology demonstration and Earth observation satellite by the European Space Agency (ESA).[1][2][3][4] It is hosting one spectral imager, a spare unit built for the PROBA-V's Vegetation instrument (VGT). The VGT instrument itself was originally developed for the French SPOT satellites. PVCC's goal is to test the abilities of a small CubeSat platform using a well-understood instrument and to cross-calibrate its vegetation growth observations with the Copernicus programme's Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 missions.[5][6][7] PVCC was launched on the Vega rocket flight VV23 in October 2023.[8][9][10]
