Referring to the news of 08 February, users are informed that the Ground Segment anomaly has been solved and Sentinel-2A data are nominally available in the data hubs.

Today we are interviewing ESA's Dr Ferran Gascon who is responsible for the quality of the data from the Sentinel-2 mission.

Due to a Ground Segment anomaly, Sentinel-2A data products have not been published in the data hubs since 07 February, at approximately 08:00 UTC sensing time.

The anomaly is expected to be solved today and the data dissemination will resume as soon as possible.

Climate change-driven glacial melt is causing landslides in alpine regions. Data from the Sentinel-1 satellite mission are being inserted into a new cloud computing system to monitor such hazards globally.

A new version of the Sentinel High Level Operations Plan (HLOP) document has been released.
A significant update of ApiHub is planned in order to publish the Sentinel-1A data acquired before 16 November 2015 that has previously only been available on the SciHub. This update will see a complete realignment of the two access points and will provide an improved redundancy for the open access Sentinel data.
Due to an issue in the data processing chain, Sentinel-2A users are here informed that products generated between 20 January (orbit 8242 acquired on 19/01) and 26 January (orbit 8340) are affected by missing metadata and incorrect footprint.

ESA's Fluorescence Explorer (FLEX) mission will orbit in tandem with one of the Copernicus constellation satellites. Taking advantage of Sentinel-3's optical and thermal sensors will lead to an integrated package of measurements to assess plant health. With the Sentinel-2 satellites also in orbit, there is a unique opportunity of using this data synergistically from all three missions for vegetation studies.

Due to a mission planning anomaly, no Sentinel-2 MSI data has been acquired between Friday 20 January 2017, 09:07 UTC (part of acquisition on orbit 8255) and Monday 23 January, 12:00 UTC (orbit 8299 included).
On Friday, 20 January 2017, the Scientific Data Hub will not be available from 9:30 to 13:00 CET for a maintenance activity.
