With the Sentinel-2B satellite close to beginning its working life in orbit, this latest Copernicus satellite has linked up to Alphasat by laser, across almost 36,000 km of space, to deliver images of Earth just moments after they were captured.

Due to a black body crossover testing activity, SLSTR L1 and L2 mission data should be considered degraded during the following period:

  • on 13 June 2017 from 11:05 UTC to 14:07 UTC
  • on 14 June 2017 from 15:36 UTC to 17:50 UTC
A minor evolution of the Sentinel-1 product format is foreseen, impacting the format of the Level-1 and Level-2 operational user products.
Referring to the news of 6 June, we are pleased to inform you that the backlog of Sentinel-2A data dissemination is recovered and all products acquired between 4 and 6 June are now available in the data hubs for download.

'Sentinel Stories' is presented by Malì Cecere. Professor Andreas Kääb of the University of Oslo describes his work with data from the Copernicus Sentinel satellites and what sort of benefits these bring to him and his team.

Infrastructure maintenance activities are scheduled for the data hubs on Wednesday 7 June, Tuesday 13 June and Wednesday 14 June 2017.

As a consequence of a Sentinel-2 PDGS anomaly, Sentinel-2A products publication in the data hubs was interrupted from 04 to 06 June 2017 (starting from sensing orbit 10181).

The European Commission and ESA are pleased to announce the publication of the first Copernicus Sentinel-2B sample products acquired during the recent satellite in-orbit commissioning phase. These sample products are intended to provide users with the first familiarisation of Sentinel-2B products.
While the Copernicus Sentinel-3A satellite is in orbit delivering a wealth of information about our home planet, engineers are putting its twin, Sentinel-3B, through a series of vigorous tests before it is shipped to the launch site next year.
A maintenance activity on the Open Access Hub is foreseen on Thursday, 01 June 2017 from 06:00 UTC to 10:00 UTC.
