Just weeks after the launch of Sentinel-1A, ESA and Greece have signed a first arrangement that establishes access to Sentinel data, marking a significant step forward in their exploitation.

The Sentinel family of satellites is being developed to meet the operational needs of Europe's environment monitoring programme, Copernicus.

The information provided by the Earth-observing missions will provide a wealth of information for various services that help improve daily life and address the environmental consequences of climate change.

The data will be made freely accessible for Copernicus Services, as well as to scientific and other users.
