Due to a network anomaly at ground station level occurred on the evening of 6 April and resolved on 7 April afternoon, users are informed that the generation of several Copernicus Sentinel-2A products from sensing orbit 30239 to 30248 and several Copernicus Sentinel-2B products from sensing orbit 21333 to 21339 is delayed.

We are pleased to announce that a Full Mission Reprocessing (FMR) of the Copernicus Sentinel-1A and -1B precise orbital products (AUX_POEORB) will be available in the upcoming days on the Copernicus Open Access Hub

We are pleased to announce the public release of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 SYNergy Aerosol Optical Depth AOD products processed in NTC timeliness. Information about the characterisation of the new products is available in the product notice document.

Users are informed that due to an anomaly of the EDRS acquisitions service occurred on 31st March and resolved in the morning of 1st April, the generation of a number of products issued from EDRS acquisitions is suffering delays.

Part of the Aquatic Ecosystem Analysis Bachelor Programme, European students gathered online from four different countries, to learn about Remote Sensing for Water Quality Monitoring over the Guadiana River catchment, a cross-border resource between Portugal and Spain, using Copernicus Sentinel-2 data.

Further to our previous announcement of 22 March 2021,we are pleased to confirm the operational deployment of the geometric refinement for Copernicus Sentinel-2 products on 30 March 2021.

As a consequence of maintenance activity executed on the Copernicus Sentinel-3A spacecraft on 17/03 from UTC time 07:01 to 07:37, reduced data quality for all the SRAL related user products should be expected for data sensed during this period. Reduced data quality for SLSTR user products can be moreover expected from approximately 06:51 to 11:06.

As of 23 February 2021, the processing of Copernicus Sentinel-1 L1 and L2 products, tagged as NRT-3h and Fast24h, have been aligned.

A ground segment production issue occurred on the evening of 19 March and was resolved on the morning of 20 March.

We are pleased to announce the upcoming start of the geometric refinement for Copernicus Sentinel-2 products. The goal of this evolution is to improve the multi-temporal co-registration and the absolute geolocation accuracy of the products, by using a Global Reference Image (GRI) as source of Ground Control Points (GCPs) to constrain the geometric model of the images.
