The first images from Sentinel-5P will be revealed tomorrow. Although it will be a few months before the satellite is ready for service, these first results are expected to show just how this new Copernicus mission is set to be a game changer for monitoring air quality.

Due to plane orbit correction manoeuvres that started on 29 November 2017 from 09:13 to 09:27 UTC, the following Sentinel-3 production problems occurred:

  • All SLSTR products from 09:08:25 UTC to 10:59:23 UTC are missing.
  • A possible degradation of data quality encountered on SRAL products during the time frame of the manoeuvre.
  • OLCI products should not be impacted as the instrument was not acquiring at the time.
Referring to the news published on 20 November, we are pleased to inform users that the recovery of missing Sentinel-2 products on 19 and 20 November was completed last night, three days in advance of the original plan for recovery.

Sentinel-1B unavailability

22 November 2017

Sentinel-1B was unavailable from 20:48 UTC on 18 November until 10:02 UTC on 19 November 2017, due to a SAR anomaly. No data were generated during this period.
As a consequence of a ground segment anomaly, most of the Sentinel-2 products acquired between the mornings of 19 and 20 November are not available on the data hubs.

Due to a Ground Segment anomaly on 14 November 2017, some data were lost for Sentinel-3A. The absolute sensing orbit involved were 9079 and 9080, i.e. relative orbits 251 and 252 of cycle 24.

In October 2017, a series of wildfires broke out in northern California, killing many and burning thousands of acres of land. Satellite imagery and particular data processing techniques are being used to help map the extent of the damage.

The European Commission, European Space Agency and the Network of European Regions Using Space Technologies (NEREUS) invite you to submit contributions for a new publication titled The ever growing use of Copernicus across Europe's regions.

As anticipated on 6 October 2017, we are pleased to announce that the complete Sentinel-2B production is now available on the Open Hub with the same ingestion date and unique identifier as the Sentinel-2B Pre-operational Hub.

A routine decontamination activity of the Sentinel-2B MSI is planned over a continuous period of  approximately 24 hours from 06:15 UTC on 25 November and 05:40 UTC on 26 November (corresponding approximately to absolute orbits of 3764 and 3777).
