In the past quarter-century, Copernicus has established itself as a world-leading Earth observation programme, delivering high-quality and timely data that are helping to tackle key global challenges.
Since the launch of the first Sentinel satellite in 2014, ESA has supported the community of Sentinel data users by implementing a service for the provision of complete, free and open Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Sentinel-3 and Sentinel-5P data products.
In the past years, the service has grown rapidly. It has now accrued some 705 000 users who have downloaded some 550 PB of data, enabling investigations into Earth’s natural processes and supporting the development of innovative operational applications.
