Sentinel Collaborative Ground Segment

The Sentinel Collaborative Ground Segment complements the exploitation of the Sentinel missions in a number of areas, such as:

• Data acquisition and (near-) realtime production. Local ground stations are configured to receive Sentinel data as the satellite passes overhead.

   

• Complementary products and algorithm definitions – these ‘collaborative data products’ may be tailored for regional coverage or specific applications. These types of products may extend the Sentinel core product chains.

   

• Data dissemination and access, supporting redistribution of Sentinel core products by establishing additional pick-up points.

   

• Development of innovative tools and applications.  

   

• Complementary support to calibration/validation activities.
