The Copernicus Sentinel-3 Altimetry Land Thematic Products (TP) with Baseline Collection 005 (BC005) are currently under reprocessing to generate improved and tailored level-2 data for both Sentinel-3A and Sentinel-3B missions. The release of TP reprocessed data products is planned in few months from now, and all the relevant information is available from a dedicated web page.
The release of the Sentinel-3 Altimetry Land Thematic Products BC005 will cover the full mission data set from the beginning of the mission, substituting the current Sentinel-3 STM Land level-2 products with BC004.
Due to predicted outage for Copernicus Sentinel-3A In-Plane Manoeuvre, SLSTR products degradation is expected for sensing time from 05/04/2023T06:55:39 to 05/04/2023T07:05:44 UTC.
Due to predicted outage for Copernicus Sentinel-3B Out-of-Plane Manoeuvre, data will be degraded on hereafter products:
Copernicus Sentinel-3BSLSTR: products degradation is expected for sensing time from 05/04/2023T09:25:32 to 05/04/2023T10:00:38
Copernicus Sentinel-3B SRAL: products degradation is expected for sensing time from 05/04/2023T09:25:32 to 05/04/2023T10:00:38
Due to Copernicus Sentinel-3B Moon calibration, data will be degraded on hereafter products:
An acquisition issue affecting Sentinel-2B on 31 March 2023 induced the following unrecoverable loss of data:
Datatake S2B-31684-1 is partially lost.
We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.
An Infrastructure Security Maintenance activity is scheduled on 4 April 2023 from 08:00 UTC to 18:00 UTC on the following data hub instances, causing the publication delay of all Copernicus Sentinel-1, Copernicus Sentinel-2 and Copernicus Sentinel-3 products.
The access to the below services will be interrupted for the duration of the maintenance.
Sentinel-5P Pre-Operations Data Hub will be not impacted by the maintenance activity.
The International Access Hub, the Collaborative Data Hub Node-2 and Node-3 will not be affected by the maintenance but no fresh products will be available.
We will inform you as soon as the maintenance is completed. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause to your activities.
During this time interval users will be able to access and retrieve Sentinel data through the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem, including fresh data for Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-3.
An analysis of satellite imagery collected over energy infrastructure in Slovakia has highlighted the country’s plans to phase out coal-fired generating plants in favour of more sustainable power sources.
Copernicus Sentinel-1A was unavailable between 09:09:17 and 15:47:50 UTC on 29 March 2023, due to a PDHT anomaly inducing the following unrecoverable loss of data:
Datatakes 05C03D, 05C03C, 05C03B, 05C03A, 05C039, 05C038, 05C037, 05C036, 05C035, 05C034, 05C033, 05C032, 05C031,05C030, 05C02F, 05C02E, 05C02D, 05C02C, 05C02B, 05C02A, 05C029, 05C028, 05C027, 05C026, 05C025, 05C024,05C023, 05C022, 05C021, 05C020, 05C01F, 05C01E, 05C01D, 05C01C, 05C01B, 05C01A, 05C019, 05C018, 05C017, 05C016, 05C015, 05C014, 05C00F, 05C00C are completely lost.
The first acquisition took place at 15:51:17.
Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Following the previous news, we are pleased to inform that the Copernicus Sentinel-3 Altimetry Land Thematic Products (TP) with Baseline Collection 005 (BC005) are currently under reprocessing to generate improved and tailored level-2 data for both Sentinel-3A and Sentinel-3B. The release of the level-2 TP’s will cover from the beginning of the mission up to date, and the new processing baseline will be then transferred in nominal operations to maintain a uniform processing baseline.
The reprocessing activities is performed by Telespazio (IT) in coordination with the Sentinel-3 Land Altimetry Mission Performance Cluster led by CLS (FR) and it is planned to complete by Q3 2023.
It is recalled that the data availability plan will be routinely updated on a dedicated page, providing details on the periods published, as well as indicators on the proceedings of the reprocessing with the forthcoming periods soon to be published.
Users are invited to start making use of the gradually building long-term time-series of Collection-005 products!
Due to Copernicus Sentinel-3B In-Plane Manoeuvre, SLSTR Products degradation is expected for sensing time from 13/03/2023T17:59:46 to 13/03/2023T18:10:50UTC.
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.
