Discover more about our planet with the Earth from Space video programme. This special edition celebrates three years of successful operations of the Copernicus Sentinel-1 constellation.

Due to Radio Frequency Interference events with other spacecraft on 24 August and 11 and 13 September 2017, some data was lost for Sentinel-3A during the downlink orbits 7914, 8172 and 8194.

A constellation of small satellites that provide data on Earth's ice and soil moisture content to complement the Sentinel fleet took the top prize at this year's Copernicus Masters Competition.

Working together for three decades, ESA and Eumetsat have been instrumental in positioning Europe as a leader in observing Earth from space. Continuing to share a vision, the two organisations have signed a statement that will strengthen Europe in meteorology and climate monitoring, and that will help to take the Copernicus programme into the future.

In late August, the 60 m-long US Coast Guard Cutter Maple completed its navigation through the Arctic's ice-ridden Northwest Passage. While this was not the first time ships had taken this route, it was the first time that the International Ice Patrol had provided iceberg information based exclusively on satellite imagery.

Due to an anomaly with the OLCI instrument, Sentinel-3A OLC NRT Level-1, 2 and 3 data products acquired from 04 November 2017 at 09:05 UTC sensing time (orbit #8936) to 05 November 2017 UTC at 07:29 UTC sensing time (#orbit 8950) were delayed.

Following the announcement on 31 October 2017, the ground segment anomaly affecting the publication of Sentinel-2A products on the Data Hub services was resolved on 02 November.

We are pleased to announce that Sentinel-2B and Sentinel-3A SRAL are now available on the Copernicus Services Data Hub.

Between May and September this year, the Copernicus Emergency Management Service was activated more than ever, with many users needing its rapid mapping products to help respond to a range of environmental disasters.

Now that Sentinel-5P is safely in orbit, engineers have started commissioning the satellite for the task of delivering extremely high-quality information on air quality. Meanwhile, the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service is poised to ensure we all reap the benefits from this latest mission.
