Due to an issue occurring at Ground Segment level on 27 April 2019, following Near Real Time, Short Time critical and Non Time Critical Copernicus Sentinel-3A data related to orbit 16623 have been missed:
The Sentinel Hub Custom Script Contest is a remotely run hackathon engaging data scientists, remote sensing scientists, students (from high school to university), and the general public worldwide to produce and share interesting (and new) algorithms to process Earth Observation data.
If you are interested in participating, the contest will end on 5 May 2019, so submit your entry soon.
The Copernicus Sentinel-1A and -1B satellites have been restored to nominal operations on 18 April at 15:00 and at 15:50 UTC, respectively.
From 19 April 2019, Copernicus Sentinel-3A SRAL L1 SR_1_SRA_A_ and SR_1_SRA_BS reprocessed data will be available through the Open Data Hub and Copernicus Services Data Hub. These products belong to the same reprocessing campaign of SR_1_SRA and SR_2_LAN, which was published in November 2018.
Copernicus Sentinel-1A and -1B are currently unavailable since 18 April at 00:45 UTC and 17 April at 23:55 UTC, respectively, following an issue in the execution of orbit control manoeuvres.
The Copernicus Sentinel-2B acquisition on 12 April with sensing time between 00:55:08 and 00:56:06 - relevant to orbit 10953 - has been lost due to a collision avoidance manoeuvre executed between 11 April at 23:21:36 and 12 April at 01:20:34 UTC.
The complete drying-up of Lake Aculeo in Chile was captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite, enabling scientists to follow the water surface extent at high frequency, and thus witness this dramatic loss.
Due to decontamination activities of the Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR) instrument on Copernicus Sentinel-3B, SLSTR products will be degraded and/or missing within the sensing time window of 11 to 17 April 2019.
Records show that, on average, global sea level rose by 3.2 mm a year between 1993 and 2018, but hidden within this average is the fact that the rate of rise has been accelerating over the last few years. Taking measurements of the height of the sea surface is essential to monitoring this worrying trend – and the Copernicus Sentinel-6 mission is on the way to being ready to do just this.
A corrective maintenance to fix a problem on the Copernicus Open Access Hub, caused a service interruption on 11 April from 09:59 to 11:35 UTC.
Calling on all interested users of Sentinel data, who would like to submit their results, turning their experiences into 'success stories'.
If you have a good story to tell, of how any of the Sentinel satellites are producing data that bring benefit to your work and/or to society, please contact the Sentinel Online Editors at: contentmatters4sentinelonline@ejr-quartz.com with your proposals.
