Awesome Sentinel

A curated list of awesome tools, tutorials and APIs related to data from the Copernicus Sentinel Satellites.

Data Access

Official datahubs and mirrors by the Copernicus partners and Collaborative Ground Segment members.

Innitiatives to integrate specific Sentinel data into existing search and discovery platforms.

Alaska Satellite Facility (Sentinel-1)
Centre for Environmental Data Analysis - CEDA (Sentinel-1, -2)
Theia (Sentinel-2)
- near real time distribution of atmospherically corrected L2A tiles covering several European countries (Belgium, Italy, France, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, parts of Austria, Germany and UK) and areas proposed by French scientists
USGS EarthExplorer (Sentinel-2)
EUMETSAT CODA (Sentinel-3 Marine Products)
- 14 day rolling archive of Sentinel-3 L1 and L2 marine products in near real-time (NRT), short time critical (STC) and non time critical (NTC) latency mode
