Due to Copernicus Sentinel-3B orbit correction manoeuvre, SLSTR products degradation is expected for sensing time from 16/03/2022T07:39:45 to 16/03/2022T07:49:35.
Due to Copernicus Sentinel-3A Out-of-Plane [CAM] Manoeuvre, Level-1 and Level-2 production will be degraded, from sensing time from 13-03-2022T14:26:57 to 13-03-2022T15:02:17.
As previously announced on 16 February 2022, an optimization in the processing of Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) and Formaldehyde (HCHO) products has been put in place. This implies that Ozone (O3), Tropospheric O3, CLOUD, SO2 and HCHO products, which belong to the same processor suite, are now processed with the new processor version 02.03.00.
The data processed with the new version are available on the Copernicus S5P Hub starting with the orbits/dates provided below. Please note that the Near Real Time (NRTI) products for data acquired during the processing downtime period were not generated.
Data orbits/dates starting from:
Detailed information is provided within the dedicated Product Readme files for SO2 and HCHO available in the S5P Products and Algorithms web page.
Copernicus Sentinel-1A was unavailable between 19:07 UTC on 1st March 2022 and 12:01 UTC on 2nd March 2022, due to a Payload Data Handling and Transmission (PDHT) sub-system software anomaly.
No SAR data were generated during this period, data acquired slightly before this period may have been affected.
We are pleased to announce a new processing baseline [FRP_NTC.004.07.00] for Copernicus Sentinel-3 concerning the following products:
SL_2_FRP in NTC timeliness
Information about the changes and the characterisation of the new version of the FRP NTC products is available in the following product notice:
A new version v1.4 of the Product Data Format Specification is also published.
The new processing baseline was deployed on the 28th of February 2022.
Following the previous news on the Sentinel-1B anomaly that occurred on 23 December 2021, very detailed investigations related to the satellite power system’s affected unit are still on-going. The anomaly is related to a 28V power regulated bus that supplies power to the SAR electronics subsystem. The reactivation of both the main and redundant power regulators of this 28V bus have not been successful so far.
Whereas good progress has been made on the investigation of 18 identified possible failure scenarios linked to the affected power unit, at this stage the root cause of the anomaly has not been clearly identified. Satellite system level analyses are conducted in parallel, with the aim to perform new recovery attempts of the unit.
The satellite remains under control, the thermal control system works properly, regular orbit control manoeuvres are routinely performed.
Sentinel-1 users should assume a long-term unavailability of data provision (several months). It is however too early to consider a permanent unavailability of Sentinel-1B.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Copernicus Sentinel-1A was unavailable on 22 February 2022 between 04:54 UTC and 14:37 UTC, due to a Payload Data Handling and Transmission (PDHT) sub-system anomaly.
No data were generated during this period, data acquired slightly before this period may have been affected.
Due to Copernicus Sentinel-3A In-Plane manoeuvre on 23rd February 2022, SLSTR Level-1 and Level-2 production degradation is expected for sensing time from 23/02/2022T07:33:46 to 23/02/2022T07:43:36.
A maintenance activity on the data hub services is planned on 23 February 2022 from 07:30 to 16:30 UTC.
During this period, publication delay for all Sentinel-1,Sentinel-2 Sentinel-3 Sentinel-5P products, might occasionally occur on the following hubs:
We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause to your activities.
Due to Copernicus Sentinel-3B OLCI Instrument on-board calibration on 27th February 2022, OLCI Level-1 and Level-2 production unavailability is expected for sensing time from 27/02/2022T09:06:03 to 27/02/2022T09:07:13.
Calling on all interested users of Sentinel data, who would like to submit their results, turning their experiences into 'success stories'.
If you have a good story to tell, of how any of the Sentinel satellites are producing data that bring benefit to your work and/or to society, please contact the Sentinel Online Editor Malì Cecere at: mali.cecere@ejr-quartz.com with your proposals.
