A routine decontamination activity of the Copernicus Sentinel-2B MSI is planned to take place over a continuous period of 24-hours between 25/11/2019 10:00 and 26/11/2019 10:00 UTC (corresponding approximately to the period between absolute orbits 14205 to 14219). During this temporal window no MSI acquisition will take place.
Following yesterday's news, an intermediate solution was put in place that allowed nominal production to resume for Copernicus Sentinel-2A Level-1C and Level-2A products as of orbit 22863 with sensing time 21:47 UTC on 7 November.
The Copernicus Sentinel family is almost fully composed of twins. Because of their large field of view, these twins see many locations in the High Arctic two or more times per day, with time lags of minutes to hours. In this resulting time-lapse, satellite imagery of a range of short-lived movements on Earth's surface can be detected.
A ground segment anomaly has been affecting the nominal production of Copernicus Sentinel-2A data since 6 November, preventing the availability of about 30% of all new Sentinel-2A acquisitions since sensing orbit 22827.
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 Editor Malì Cecere at: mali.cecere@ejr-quartz.com with your proposals.
