Great roundup as always. The Sentinel-2 tandem configuration detail is particularly interesting since that 30-second offset between S2A and S2B can reveal subtle differences that normally get washed out in single-pass datasets. I've wokred with temporal calibration issues before and this kind of near-simultaneous data really helps isolate sensor-specific biases from actual surface changes.
Exactly! The ~30-second offset is perfect for separating sensor biases from real change. And honestly, people often underestimate how much Cal/Val effort is required to make multi-satellite interoperability actually work. That "behind the scenes" work is a big reason the Sentinel missions are considered the gold standard.

Thanks for the comment!
