Sentinel-1 Wave Mode data is regularly acquired over open oceans and systematically processed to Level-2 OCN products. Wave Mode Level-2 OCN products will be available for user download from 2 July 2015 at the Sentinel Scientific Data Hub.
Just four days after being lofted into orbit, Europe's Sentinel-2A satellite delivered its first images of Earth, offering a glimpse of the 'colour vision' that it will provide for the Copernicus environmental monitoring programme.
Last night marked the end of Sentinel-2A's first three days in space, which saw teams on the ground working around the clock to ensure the spacecraft is ready for its 'colour vision' mission.

Following the successful launch of Sentinel-2A on 23 June 2015, detailed information on the milestones for the operations ramp-up phase are now available.

With the successful launch of Sentinel-2, a major upgrade of the Copernicus Scientific Data Hub is foreseen for providing access to the Sentinel-2 products.
The ESA-developed Sentinel satellite - Sentinel-2A - was launched today, adding a high-resolution optical imaging capability to the European Union Copernicus environmental monitoring system.
On 23 June, a Vega launcher will loft the first of ESA's dual Sentinel-2 satellites into orbit from Europe's Spaceport in Kourou. For the mission control team, liftoff will mark the end of many months of careful preparations and the start of the mission's first critical phase.

With less than a week to liftoff, the next Sentinel satellite for the Copernicus environmental monitoring programme is now in position high up in the launch tower at Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.

Building a satellite is a complex business, most of which goes on in the confines of a cleanroom. This new animation shows the upcoming Sentinel-3 satellite stripped bare, revealing its inner glory - a view normally only granted to the engineers responsible for piecing together this extraordinary technology.

Former Copernicus Masters competition winner EOMAP has launched the first harmonised, high-resolution inland water quality monitoring service based on satellite data.
