In order to perform an onboard maintenance of the Sentinel-1A radar instrument, the satellite will be unavailable on 17 October 2017 from 07:54 UTC to 09:46 UTC.
Launched last week, Europe's Sentinel-5P satellite - the first Copernicus mission dedicated to monitoring the air we breathe - is in excellent health.
The first Copernicus mission dedicated to monitoring our atmosphere, Sentinel‑5P, has been launched from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia 09:27 GMT (11:27 CEST) today.
Sentinel-1 users are here reminded that a minor change in the Sentinel-1 product format will occur by end of 2017/beginning of 2018 and are invited to check the new product specifications and sample products available here.

ESA's Directorate of Technology, Engineering and Quality, equipped with a suite of specialised laboratories and expert personnel, applied their expertise to help verify Sentinel-5P's air-monitoring instrument would perform as planned.

Users are informed that Sentinel-2 Level-1C products will start being distributed with a slightly updated format as of 23 October 2017.
Mission controllers completed a critical final rehearsal, confirming that everything and everyone on ground are ready to take over control of Sentinel-5P in the harsh environment of space.
With four days to liftoff, the next Sentinel satellite is now on the launch pad at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia.
Starting on Monday 9 October, Sentinel-2B joins Sentinel-2A on ESA's Copernicus Open Access Data Hub and on the accompanying API Hub interface; the access point for users of the scripting interface.

In this special edition, senior scientist at France's Collecte Localisation Satellites, Marie-Hélène Rio, joins the show to discuss how data on ocean surface currents by the Sentinel-3 satellite mission are used by people working at sea.
