Following successful completion of the Copernicus Sentinel-3B Commissioning Phase, the Level 2 (OL_2_LFR and OL_2_LRR) both Near-Real-Time (NRT) and Non-Time-Critical (NTC) production of the Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) instrument is being published on the Open Access Hub starting from 24 January 2019.
From 29 January 2019, Copernicus Sentinel-3A SRAL Near Real Time (NRT) products will be generated at the SRAL Land Production Centre and not at Svalbard Ground Station.
An amendment to the current Copernicus Agreement has been signed by the EU and ESA, adding €96 million to ESA's space component budget for the world's largest environmental monitoring programme: Copernicus.

Starting from Tuesday 22 January 2019, the Copernicus Sentinel-3A SLSTR Near Real Time products will be generated at the SLSTR Land Production Centre and will no longer be generated at the Svalbard Ground Station.

Collision avoidance manoeuvres are planned to be executed on Copernicus Sentinel-1B to reduce the risk of collision with debris, potentially occurring on 19 January 2019 at 11:42 UTC.
