Following the first impressive images from Sentinel-3A, this latest Copernicus satellite is now showing us how another of its instruments, an altimeter, will track sea-level change.

Further to the announcement of 25 February, ESA is pleased to announce that the nominal dissemination of the Sentinel-2A Level-1C products resumed on Wednesday 2 March, including products acquired after 1 March, 14:00 UTC.
Just two weeks after launch, the latest Sentinel satellite has offered a taster of what it will provide for the EU's Copernicus programme.
Maintenance activities on the infrastructure hosting the servers of the Sentinels Data Hubs will occur on Wednesday, 2 March 2016 from 9:30 CET to 15:00 CET.
Operators of UK transport networks are the first who are set to benefit from Live Land, a satellite-based land monitoring system developed through ESA.
Since Sunday 21 February 2016, an anomaly is affecting the radiometric quality of some Sentinel-2 L1C products.
ESA and the software company SAP have signed a letter of intent to develop innovative approaches for the quick and efficient processing of large amounts of Earth observation data through access to processing platforms.

Each year, about a quarter of the carbon dioxide we release into the atmosphere ends up in the ocean, but how it happens is still not fully understood. The Sentinel-3A satellite is poised to play an important role in shedding new light on this exchange.

Working around the clock, mission teams have brought Sentinel-3A through the critical 'launch and early orbit phase' in just 49 hours, much earlier than planned and a record for such a complex satellite.
During the following days infrastructure upgrade activities will be made in preparation to the set up of the connectivity between the Copernicus and the GÉANT data networks planned to be in operations by March 2016.
