Users are informed that a minor update on Sentinel-2 L2A products is going to be implemented to optimise the encoding of the quality bands (SCL, CLD, SNW, PVI, TCI) over 8 bits instead of 16 bits, in line with the Sentinel-2 L1C products.

Infrastructure maintenance activities are scheduled on:

  • Tuesday, 18 September 2018 from 06:00 to 16:30 UTC
  • Wednesday, 19 September 2018 from 06:00 to 16:30 UTC.

Making landfall in the US state of North Carolina on 14 September, Hurricane Florence is causing widespread damage and flooding. The Copernicus Sentinel-1 radar mission is being used to map affected areas.

For more than 20 years, changes in ozone over Antarctica have been carefully monitored by a succession of European satellites. This important long-term record is now being added to by the Copernicus Sentinel-5P mission, which is dedicated to atmospheric monitoring.

An innovative data analytics company in France is using data from the Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellites to help track crude oil storage worldwide, bringing transparency to the energy markets.

Following the DHUS maintenance on 27-28 August, the availability in the Data Hubs of several S2 L2A products with sensing date between 27 August and 11 September is delayed as a consequence of a contingency at ground segment level.

Due to decontamination activities of the Sentinel-3 SLSTR instrument, production of data from 13 to 19 September 2018 will be affected.

Following the recent upgrades to the Data Hub dissemination points we are pleased to announce that the Long Term Archive (LTA) Access interfaces are ready to be operated, part of the nominal regime to ensure the continued access to all Sentinel Data at all time. 
Due to a major Sentinel-3A Ground Segment anomaly all L1 and L2 NRT OLC, SLSTR and SRAL user products from sensing time 05-09-2018 19:30 to 06-09-2018 06:06 UTC are missing.

Due to a planned spacecraft manoeuvre on Sentinel-3A on 29 August 2018 all NRT/NTC/STC OLCI and SRAL user products could be degraded from sensing time 07:38 to 08:13 UTC. NRT/NTC SLSTR user products could be degraded from sensing time 07:38 to 08:47 UTC.
