Due to Copernicus Sentinel-3A In-Plane Manoeuvre, SLSTR products degradation is expected for sensing time from 16/10/2023T08:15:33 to 16/10/2023T08:25:52 UTC

Due to predicted outage for Copernicus Sentinel-3B In-Plane Manoeuvre, SLSTR Products degradation is expected for sensing time from 13/10/2023T08:50:33 to 13/10/2023T09:00:52 UTC

Dear Collaborative Data Hub User,

We want to inform you of some important changes to the Collaborative Access Hub service that will take effect by November 1st, 2023. The Collaborative Access Hub Nodes will start to synchronize and serve the data directly from the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem, whilst the Open Access Hub and other related services are decommissioned.
The availability of the Collaborative Access Hub Nodes have been extended until the end of 2024 in order to provide additional time to the CollGS partners to adapt their workflows towards the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem.

ColHub Node 1 IP Address Change:
Starting from November 1st, 2023, the ColHub Node 1 will undergo an IP address change. The new IP address will be 64.255.138.25.
In case you are using the IP address please be prepared to update your configurations accordingly to ensure uninterrupted access. ColHub Nodes 2 and Node 3 will not change.

Collaborative Data Offer:
We want to bring to your attention the data offer:

• The Collaborative Hub Node1 will provide fresh data and historical data. Historical data can be retrieved only if are Online on the Copernicus DataSpace Ecosystem.
  
• The Collaborative Hub Node 2 will provide 2-week rolling window of data
  
• The Collaborative Hub Node 3 will provide 3-week rolling window of data.  
  

New Sentinel-5P Collaborative Hub:
Starting from November 1st, 2023, the Sentinel-5P data will be made available via a dedicated Sentinel-5P Collaborative Access Hub at https://s5pcol.copernicus.eu.
Please make a note of the updated URL because the Sentinel-5P Pre-Ops Hub will be dismissed by November 1st, 2023. The Sentinel-5P Collaborative Hub will provide a 3-week rolling of fresh data.
We are pleased to announce that the Sentinel-5P Collaborative Hub will remain operational until the end of 2024.

Sentinel-5P Personal Accounts:
As part of these changes, all Collaborative users will be provided with individual personal accounts to access Sentinel-5P data on the Sentinel-5P Collaborative Hub. Separate instructions and details regarding personal accounts will be sent to you shortly.

It has been noted that due to the design of the new Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem, the Sentinel-1 (SLC, GRD, RAW) data are being disseminated in an uncompressed format. This will result in an increase in volume of the data to be transferred.

We understand that these changes may impact your workflow, and we are committed to ensuring a smooth transition.
Should you have any questions or require assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out our support team at colhub.support@copernicus.esa.int

We appreciate your continued support and collaboration as we strive to enhance our services. Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to serving you with improved offerings on the Collaborative Hub.

Best regards,

The Data Hub Service Operations Team

A maintenance activity on the core infrastructure hosting the data hub services, is planned in the following time window:
Start time : 10/10/2023 04:30 UTC
End time : 12/10/2023 13:00 UTC

The OpenHub service will be not impacted, but users might experience some degradation in the download performance.

The Sentinel-5P Pre-Operations Data Hub will not be affected by the maintenance.
We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause to your activities.

Due to Copernicus Sentinel-3A Moon calibration, data will be degraded on hereafter products:

Due to predicted outage for Copernicus Sentinel-3A SLSTR Calibration, SLSTR Products degradation is expected for sensing time from 26/09/2023T07:18:00 to 28/09/2023T03:30:00 UTC

Due to predicted outage for Copernicus Sentinel-3A SLSTR Calibration, SLSTR Products degradation is expected for sensing time from 26/09/2023T07:18:00 to 28/09/2023T03:30:00 UTC

The actual ground track orbit of the Sentinel-3B (S3B) satellite has been observed to violate the nominal dead-band of +/- 1km from the reference orbit over different periods of the year 2023 as you can see from the figure here below.

The left axis of the plot corresponds to the maximum ground track deviation w.r.t. the S3B reference orbit only if > +-1 km (so violating the dead-band), when the right axis corresponds to the latitude for those violations.

In the case of S3B, the dead-band violations occur over every latitude band, and quite frequently in August 2023 when crossing the equator.

Due to predicted outage for Copernicus Sentinel-3A SLSTR Calibration, SLSTR Products degradation is expected for sensing time from 26/09/2023T07:18:00 to 28/09/2023T03:30:00 UTC

As previously announced in January, and started in July, the Copernicus Data Hub distribution service will face a gradual ramp-down of the operations capacity and data offering from July 2023 until September 2023.

As from September 2023 some Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B Level 2A products belonging to old processing baselines (< 05.00) will gradually be no longer accessible through the Data Hub interfaces. Please note that some desynchronisation may be expected in the catalogue records for this data and download attempts might result in an error.

Users are encouraged to register and access the new Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem which allows access to the full Sentinel data offer.
