Due to an anomaly on the OLCI instrument from 13 July 2018, 18:29 UTC  to 14 July 2018, 09:59 UTC, the Level-1 and Level-2 data are missing.

The Sentinel-3 SRAL NRT data in the sensing time from 27 June 2018 14:05 UTC to 28 June 2018 06:45 UTC is delayed due to the Sentinel-3A Ground Segment anomaly on 27 June 2018.

The ground segment anomaly has been resolved.

A Data Hub software upgrade activity is foreseen on the Sentinel-3 Pre-Operations Data Hub on 28 June 2018 from 07:00 to 16:00 UTC.

Due to an OLCI instrument anomaly on 21 June 2018, products starting from 15:23 UTC (sensing time) are degraded (L0) or missing (L1/L2). Instrument recovery activity is ongoing.

Due to a scheduled special operation on the  SLSTR instrument, all the NRT/NTC SL_1_RBT/SL_2_LST user data are not available in the following time intervals:

  • From 07:50 to 12:55 UTC on 18 June 2018.
  • From 07:25 to 12:30 UTC on 19 June 2018.
Due to a planned maintenance of the Sentinel-3 Ground Segment, the S3A NRT data in the sensing time window from 18-06-2018T14:28 UTC to 19-06-2018T02:00 UTC are missing.
The key to monitoring Earth's changing environment and to guaranteeing a consistent stream of satellite data to improve our daily lives is to take the same measurements over the course of decades. But how do you know that measurements from successive satellites, even though identical in build, are like for like?

Infrastructure maintenance activities are scheduled on the Data Hubs from 12:00 UTC on 18 June to 10:00 UTC on 19 June 2018.

Due to an issue on the Sentinel 3 Ground Segment, the Sentinel-3A NRT data acquired on orbit 12077, 12 June 2018 from 15:24:06 UTC to 17:03:52 are delayed.
The Sentinel-3A data acquired on orbits 12012 and 12013 on 08 June 2018 from 03:39 to 05:53 UTC, delayed due to a ground segment anomaly, has been successfully recovered.
Due to a Ground Segment anomaly, the Sentinel-3A NRT/STC/NTC data acquired on orbits 12012 and 12013 on 08 June 2018 from 03:39 to 05:53 UTC is delayed.
In relation to the network incident affecting Svalbard CGS site on 27 May 2018, SRAL L1/L2 and MW1 STC products were impacted in the following sensing time window: 27-05T02:00 UTC  to 28-05T11:00 UTC.

Launched on 25 April 2018, Sentinel-3B has already delivered some impressive first images from its ocean and land colour instrument, from its altimeter and from the optical channels of its radiometer.
A database maintenance activity is foreseen on the Sentinel-3 Pre-Operations Data Hub on Friday, 01 June 2018 from 08:00 to 14:00 UTC.

Due to a network issue at the Svalbard Core Ground Segment site, Sentinel-3A NRT products in the following time windows (sensing time) are missing:

  • OLC and SLSTR L1/L2: from 13:54 to 15:35 UTC on 27 May 2018 and from 18:00 UTC on 27 May to 09:42 UTC on 29 May
  • SRAL L1/L2: from 05:39 to 10:13 UTC on 28 May
Infrastructure maintenance activities are scheduled for the Data Hubs on 30 May, and the 06 and 07 June 2018.
Due to a network issue at the Svalbard Collaborative Ground Segment site, which is still under recovery, no Sentinel-3A Near Real-Time products have been disseminated to the S3PreOps Hub and Open Hub from 13:45 UTC on 27 May 2018.
This timelapse video shows the Sentinel-3B satellite being prepared for liftoff on 25 April 2018 from Plesetsk in Russia. Sentinel-3B joined its twin, Sentinel-3A, in orbit.

Launched on 25 April 2018, the Sentinel-3B satellite has already delivered impressive first images from its ocean and land colour instrument and from its radiometer. It has now also delivered data from its altimeter – which means that all of the instruments are working well.

Less than two weeks after it was launched, the Copernicus Sentinel-3B satellite has delivered its first images of Earth. Exceeding expectations, this first set of images include the sunset over Antarctica, sea ice in the Arctic and a view of northern Europe.
