In this special edition of the Earth from Space video programme, Pepijn Veefkind from the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute discusses the Tropomi instrument on the Sentinel-5P satellite, set for launch on 13 October.
An app that uses satellite imagery to give flight travellers an interactive, bird's-eye view of their routes took the top prize at this year's Space App Camp at ESA's centre in Frascati, Italy.

With liftoff set for 13 October, engineers at Russia's Plesetsk launch site are steaming ahead with the task of getting Europe's next Copernicus satellite ready for its journey into orbit.

Accurate characterisation of snow melting enables a better understanding of hydrological conditions. The Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellites can be used to provide such information in a timely fashion. They help to improve maps that show which areas are susceptible to increased water run-off, therefore contributing to flood risk management.

In the Sentinel-5P cleanroom

13 September 2017

In this special edition of the Earth from Space video programme, Sentinel-5P Project Manager Kevin McMullan and Sentinel-5P Mission Manager Claus Zehner discuss their roles in the mission, the unique Tropomi instrument and the kind of data it will deliver.

Users are informed that the maintenance activity scheduled for today, 12 September 2017, mentioned in previous news, has been postponed to tomorrow 13 September from 8:30 CEST to 18:30 CEST.

Please note that the Sentinel-1 products acquired within the following sensing times for Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1B present a degraded geolocation accuracy.

  • Sentinel-1A: 2017/09/06 18:57:47 UTC - 2017/09/07 08:07:45 UTC
  • Sentinel-1B: 2017/09/06 18:07:43 UTC - 2017/09/07 07:17:41 UTC
With reference to the news published on 30 August, users are informed that since the morning of 05 September, both Sentinel-2A and -2B products are again nominally available in the data hubs.
The Earth Observation metadata enhancer (EO-me) is a service that addresses the issue of identifying specific data tiles in the rapidly growing satellite data archives.

From 4 September 2017, the Copernicus Data Hub Service provides a catalogue view of the products published on the Open Access Hub in the form of Comma-Separated Value (CSV) files.
