From 13 November 2018, Copernicus Sentinel-3A SRAL Level-1 and Level-2 reprocessed data will start to be available through the Open Data Hub and Copernicus Services Data Hub. The reference time periods for the two user products are:

Due to a major issue at the Payload Data Ground Segment on 04 November, Sentinel-3A NRT data related to orbits 14137 to 14139 are missing (sensing time from 02:38 to 07:43). NTC data will be available.

An unavoidable maintenance activity on the core infrastructure hosting the data hub service, involving replacement of switches interconnecting the servers to the rolling archive storage, is scheduled from 13:30 UTC on Monday 5 November to 11:00 UTC on 6 November 2018.

ESA is pleased to announce the first official release of the Sentinel-3A Synergy Level 2 data products on the S3 Pre Ops Hub.

Due to a Sentinel-3A S09 calibration performed during absolute orbit 13555, all L1 and L2 NRT OLC user products from sensing time 09:03 to 09:05 UTC on 24 September 2018 are missing. The related NTC products will be recovered.

While world-class scientists are meeting in the Azores to discuss how satellites have revealed changes in the height of the sea, ice, inland bodies of water and more, the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellite has new reasons to shine.

Sentinel-3A OLCI data has been re-processed to Processing Baseline 2.23 to provide a homogeneous time series from the start of the Sentinel-3 mission and also to align it with the forthcoming Sentinel-3B OLCI products.

Scientists are gathering in the Azores this week to share findings on how satellite has revealed changes in the height of the sea, ice, inland bodies of water and more. Of concern to all is the fact that global sea level has not only been rising steadily over the last 25 years, but recently it is rising at a much faster rate.

Users are informed that a due to a service maintenance on the Sentinel-3 Pre-Operations Data Hub, the service will not be available from 14:00 UTC on 25 September until 09:30 UTC on 26 September.

Due to a major Sentinel-3A Ground Segment anomaly all L1 and L2 NRT OLC, SLSTR and SRAL user products from sensing time 05-09-2018 19:30 to 06-09-2018 06:06 UTC are missing.

Due to a planned spacecraft manoeuvre on Sentinel-3A on 29 August 2018 all NRT/NTC/STC OLCI and SRAL user products could be degraded from sensing time 07:38 to 08:13 UTC. NRT/NTC SLSTR user products could be degraded from sensing time 07:38 to 08:47 UTC.

Due to a Sentinel-3A planned SLSTR instrument maintenance activity all NRT/NTC L1 and L2 user products covering a sensing time from 08:50 to 13:55 UTC on 28 August 2018 are unavailable.

Open Access Hub users are informed that a maintenance activity is scheduled on 27 and 28 August 2018 for upgrading the DHuS databases and software version on the following access points:

Due to a ground segment anomaly that occurred on 22 August 2018 at approximately 13:00 UTC, all Sentinel-3A NRT/NTC/STC L1 and L2 user data covering a sensing time from 11:23 UTC to 13:04 UTC are unavailable.

Due to a Sentinel-3A planned spacecraft manoeuvre all NRT/NTC/STC OLCI and SRAL user products could be degraded from sensing time 2018/01/08 08:08 UTC to 2018/01/08 08:22 UTC.

NRT/NTC SLSTR user products could be degraded from sensing time 2018/01/08 08:08 UTC to 2018/01/08 10:27 UTC.

The main proof of long hot and dry spell Europe has been enduring over the last few weeks has been obtained from the Copernicus Sentinel-3 images acquired on 28 June and 25 July 2018.
These Copernicus Sentinel-3 images show how this year's heatwave has taken its toll on vegetation in northern Germany, Denmark and Sweden.
With Europe in the grip of a heatwave and little rain, the scorched ground and dry vegetation is succumbing to fire. Fires have now broken out as far as the Arctic Circle, in Sweden. This animation shows images from the Copernicus Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 missions.
A Data Hub software upgrade activity is foreseen on the Sentinel-3 Pre-Operations Data Hub on 19 July 2018 from 09:00 to 10:00 UTC.

Due to a circulation delay of some mandatory auxiliary data, the production of Sentinel-3 SRAL STC products acquired between 01:29 and 22:30 UTC on 14 July 2018 is delayed and under recovery.
