With the upcoming update of the Copernicus Sentinel-5 Precursor (S5p) operational ground-processing system, planned for March 20th 2025, a new updated processor will be released for the following products:

UPAS v02.07.01 for: Formaldehyde (HCHO), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Cloud Fraction, albedo, and top pressure (CLOUD), Ozone Total Column (O3), Ozone Tropospheric Column (O3_TCL).
The main impact on the data products is as follows:

Ozone Tropospheric Column – O3 TCL: Internal hotfix.
The NL-L2 processor (UV Aerosol Index, Aerosol Layer Height, Methane, Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, and O3 Profile) will remain unchanged at version 02.08.00.

The processor for the product S-NPP VIIRS – Cloud auxiliary product will remain unchanged (version 02.00.03).

Full detailed information will be provided within the Product Readme Files after the operational switch.

Please note that NRT products for data acquired during the downtime period will be not generated. After the successful deployment of the new system, version numbers of the first orbit generated with the new version of the S5p operational processors both, in NRT and OFFL, will be provided.

We are pleased to announce the start of the full mission reprocessing campaign for the Sentinel-3 OLCI Level-2 Land products, covering the following datasets:

OL_2_LFR
OL_2_LRR
Sensing Period Coverage

The reprocessed data will cover the following periods:

Sentinel-3A: 6 April 2016 to 9 October 2024
Sentinel-3B: 9 May 2018 to 9 October 2024
Processing Baseline

This reprocessing campaign applies the Level-2 processing baseline introduced in October 2024, as part of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 OLCI/SYNERGY products release.

The reprocessed Level-2 products also benefit from the Level-1 reprocessed dataset, aligned with the Processing Baseline 3.28 deployed in May 2024.

A dedicated news item will be published shortly to announce the release of the reprocessed Level-1 products.

Publication Timeline
The reprocessed Level-2 Land products will gradually become available on the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem starting from 10 March 2025.
The entire reprocessing campaign is expected to be completed by Q4 2025.

Transition from Previous Collection
The deletion of products belonging to the previous baseline collection (002) will take place after the publication of the new baseline collection 003.
For a transitional period of a few months, both versions of the Level-2 products will remain available online to ensure a smooth transition for data users.

Stay tuned for further updates as we progress with the publication.

ESA is pleased to announce that Sentinel-2A extended campaign will begin on March 13, 2025, for a period of one year.

As previously announced in the news release “Sentinel-2A: Exceptional temporary extension campaign starting in March 2025”, this exceptional campaign will temporarily complement the nominal constellation operations with Sentinel-2B and Sentinel-2C, enhancing the capabilities of the Sentinel-2 Mission, providing greater benefits to both operational and scientific user communities

The extended Sentinel-2A scenario is designed to enhance the global revisit frequency of the Sentinel-2 constellation while optimizing the use of critical satellite resources. Notably, it features a consistent observation scenario over Europe for all three Sentinel-2 units and optimises the revisit frequency over the tropical regions of Africa and South America, frequently impacted by high cloud cover.

The attached image illustrates the number of acquisitions by the Sentinel-2 constellation over a 20-day period, comparing the baseline (S2B + S2C) and the extended (S2B + S2C + S2A) scenarios.

Detailed planning information is available here for each unit.

Collaborative and DHR Users are invited to re-activate their synchronizers to allow the ingestion of the Sentinel 2A data.

Dear Collaborative Users,

As already announced, the legacy DHuS software is now over 10 years old and it is becoming necessary to plan the obsolescence of this software. A replacement solution has been proposed to those partners relying on the Open Source developed in the frame of the Collaborative GS support – this the “GSS” catalogue. The GSS catalogue is capable to interface directly the CDSE and other GSS instances and should allow the decommissioning of all DHuS software instances.

We would like to remind you that the operations of all 3 Collaborative nodes will cease on 30 June 2025.

The Sentinel-3 Altimeter Processing Baseline (PB) 3.32 was deployed on January 24, 2025, at the ESA S3A Production Services, synchronized to the start of cycle 121 in NTC timeliness, and at ESA S3B Production Service starting from Feb 5, 2025, with the beginning of cycle 102 in NTC timeliness.

• The new Processing Baseline 3.32 includes the following main evolutions/corrections regarding:
  
• In the Land Ice Thematic Products, the surface topography and POCA coordinates variables have been adjusted in case of relocation algorithm failure. This mainly impacts measurements acquired over the ice sheet margins.
  
• Correction of a warning in Sea-Ice Products for the variable Sea Ice Type Uncertainty
  
• Correction of OLTC information for Tracks n1 and n770 in Land-Ice Products
