Identifying landslides rapidly and precisely enables a better understanding of landslide triggering conditions. The Copernicus Sentinel-1 and -2 missions can be used to provide such information in a timely fashion, and this can help improve maps that show which areas are susceptible to landslides, therefore contributing to risk management.
Due to a SRAL Digital Elevation Mode EEPROM patching operations, SRAL mission data was unavailable during the following period:
22 June 2017 from 08:48:42 to 08:54:08 (Duration 00:05:26).
Sentinel-1A was unavailable on 21 June 2017 between 14:09 UTC and 17:35 UTC, due to PDHT anomaly. No data were generated during this period, and the recovery of some data acquired slightly earlier than this period may have been affected.
A low Earth-orbiting satellite, the Copernicus Sentinel-5 Precursor (Sentinel-5P) mission is dedicated to monitoring the composition of the atmosphere. Its data will be used largely by the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service. The mission will deliver information to monitor air quality, stratospheric ozone and will also be used for climate variables monitoring, and support European policy-making.
Due to a SRAL DEM EEPROM patching operations, SRAL mission data will be unavailable during the following estimated period (the effective unavailability period will be reported after the operation):
With the Sentinel-2B satellite close to beginning its working life in orbit, this latest Copernicus satellite has linked up to Alphasat by laser, across almost 36,000 km of space, to deliver images of Earth just moments after they were captured.
Due to a black body crossover testing activity, SLSTR L1 and L2 mission data should be considered degraded during the following period:
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 Editors at: contentmatters4sentinelonline@ejr-quartz.com with your proposals.
