Due to an issue that occurred at PDGS level from 07 September 2021 18:00 UTC to 08 September 2021 07:30 UTC some Short Time Critical Copernicus Sentinel-3 products were missed.

We are pleased to publish the sixth Copernicus Sentinel Data Access Annual Report. This report for 2020 follows directly on from the 2019 report, and analyses the uptake of Copernicus Sentinel data and the performance of the Sentinel Data Access System during the period 1 December 2019 to 30 November 2020 (referred to as Y2020).

A minor evolution of the Copernicus Sentinel-1 product format, in line with the product format version 3.9, will be introduced on 21 September 2021 for all newly generated products.

Due to a scheduled infrastructure maintenance on 06 September 2021 from 06:00 to 14:00 UTC, there might be delays in restoring Copernicus Sentinels products in offline status.

A maintenance activity has been scheduled on the Sentinel Users Bulletin Board on 31 August, from 08:00 to 10:00 UTC.

Multiple ground segment contingencies occurred on 22 and 23 August at network level, preventing the generation of several Copernicus Sentinel-2 products.

Copernicus Sentinel-1B was unavailable between 19 August 2021 at 14:12 UTC and 20 August 2021 at 08:05 UTC.

As a consequence of a Copernicus Sentinel-2 anomaly, which impacts the reception timeliness of some downlinks between 19 and 20 August, several products have not been generated.

Copernicus Sentinel-1B was unavailable between 15 August 2021 at 19:38 UTC and 16 August at 08:39 UTC, due to a SAR anomaly.

As announced in March, we are pleased to announce the upcoming worldwide extension of the geometric refinement processing for Copernicus Sentinel-2 products. The deployment in the operational production will happen gradually on 23 August throughout the day.
