After being put through its paces to make sure it is fit for life in orbit around Earth, the Copernicus Sentinel-3B satellite is ready to be packed up and shipped to Russia for liftoff.
A set of service infrastructure upgrades are scheduled for the Data Hubs from 07:00 UTC on 5 February to 18:30 UTC on 6 February 2018.

Due to two occurrences of an on-board anomaly on 20 January 2018 and 23 Janaury 2018, NRT/NTC/STC user data could be degraded or missing.

Today, 26 January 2018, the Data Hub Services are experiencing a significant drop in network performance that is leading to very slow download times for the Sentinel Data products. User experience in this period is severely impacted.

The anomaly is under investigation with the network provider, to be resolved as soon as possible.

The Sentinel-3A ground segment anomaly on 23 January 2018 has now been resolved, but NRT products and SRAL STC products from orbit 10077 to 10080 are missing.

Due to a Sentinel-3A ground segment anomaly on 23 January 2018, NRT products from orbit #10077 are missing. Investigation of the issue is ongoing.

The Sentinel-3A Altimetry Processing Baseline (PB) 2.24 was deployed on 13 December 2017 at the ESA Sentinel-3 Land centres.

Due to a Sentinel-3A Ground Segment anomaly, some SRAL Level-1/Level-2 STC and NTC are delayed.

Wave information is crucial for people working at sea, to be able to navigate and operate safely. A new product based on satellite altimeter data detailing ‘Significant Wave Height' now enables this.

Following the transition of Sentinel-3A into routine operations and following the news published on 19 October 2017, the production of the SAR Radar Altimeter (SRAL) instrument will no longer be published on the Sentinel-3 Pre-Operations Data Hub starting Monday, 15 January 2018.

Infrastructure maintenance activities on the data hubs are scheduled to take place on 10 and 11 January.

Due to a Sentinel-3A antenna anomaly on 01 January 2018, data related to orbit #9760 are missing.

Monitoring large, remote bodies of water is logistically challenging, time consuming and expensive. Responding quickly to events that pose a risk to human health has been almost impossible, given the size of some lakes and seas. An innovative satellite data service is now able to change things around.

The anomaly that affected the OLCI instrument aboard Sentinel-3A has now been resolved.
Due to an OLCI Instrument anomaly on 19 December 2017 at 01:44 UTC, data is either degraded or unavailable until further notice.
At an event held on 13 December at ESA's Headquarters in Paris, France, an Understanding for the Sentinel Collaborative Ground Segment Cooperation was signed to facilitate Sentinel data exploitation in Romania.
Following the announcement earlier today, the anomaly affecting the Sentinel-3A ground segment has now been resolved.
Thanks to the European Union's Copernicus programme, vast quantities of satellite data are freely available to manage the environment and benefit European citizens. While this offers a wealth of opportunities, downloading and storing these data involves some complex logistical challenges - but this is about to change.
Due to a Sentinel-3A Ground Segment anomaly, SRAL Level 2 NRT and STC products are missing or delayed from 13 December 2017 at 08:30 UTC. There is an on-going investigation of the root cause.

Due to a Sentinel-3A Ground Segment anomaly on 12 December 2017, the publication of NRT products have been delayed from 05:45 to 11:30 UTC.
