1 Million Gigabyte Sentinel-1 data at DLR PAC – Feb 12, 2016
In only 14 months, one million gigabytes or one petabyte of data from the
European radar satellite Sentinel-1 were acquired, processed and
archived at DLR’s Earth Observation Center. Sentinel-1 is the first of a
whole fleet of European earth observation satellites with various sensors
and specializations. On behalf of ESA, EOC manages the Sentinel-1 /
Sentinel-3 OLCI Processing and Archiving Centre. The Sentinels represent
a milestone in the European earth observation programme, also with
respect to the availability of earth observation data in Europe. The
Sentinels cause a dramatic increase in the amount of data to be
processed and archived.
Accordingly, more than 750,000 Sentinel-1 data sets, from raw data sets
to Level-0 products to value-added Level-2 products, have already been
safeguarded in the EOC long-term data archive. The amount of data
stored since December 2014 for this one mission alone is equivalent to all
the radar data from the Envisat satellite that were generated and
processed during its mission lifetime of over ten years.

There are numerous options for implementing these needs, based on exiting and newly
created initiatives and programs. Amongst these are:
a) Implement the improved access to EO data by, e.g.

o “reviving” the UNESCO “Open Initiative”
o Expanding the Charter on Space and Major Disasters
o Creating a new initiative
b) Create a framework of regular applications by e.g.

o Using the GEOSS framework to coordinate the work as part of its societal challenges
o Implementing “CH site monitoring” as part of the Copernicus Core Service “Security”
c) Support research & development, by e.g.:

o Using programs, interested in international development such as the World Bank
o Using national and international research programs, such as the European H2020
o Have an improved exchange on new developments in international science and
technology organizations
o Have better training, education (e.g. dedicated curricula, summer schools) on this topic.

 The Commission has overall responsibility for "collecting the user

requirements for the second generation Copernicus Space
Component and delivering to ESA a User Requirements
Document by mid-2017" (EU-ESA Copernicus Agreement, Article
4, point i).
 To this end, the Commission has awarded a contract and
commenced a user-driven study with the purpose of defining:
 future user requirements for next generation
 service specifications update in response to future user
requirements
 service data requirements in response to updated service
specifications
 high-level technical requirements
Space
13
Timeline
 Beg. 2017: Commission starts weighing in political/financial priorities as the
user-driven study is being finalised. Beginning of consultation process with
Committee, ESA, EUMETSAT and other entrusted entities.
 1st Quarter 2017: End of the user-driven study (up to high level tech reqs)
 Mid-2017: Set of requirements delivered to ESA
 After mid-2017: Consultation process continues as ESA, with contribution

by EUMETSAT, proceed to the conversion of high level reqs to specific
technical reqs.
 Based on the established requirements framework, as well as taking into

account the political, financial and technological constraints, ESA, with
contribution by EUMETSAT for relevant areas, shall provide the MRD.

Data
 Copernicus collects, processes,

and archives massive amounts of
data (approx. 8 Terabyte/day or
almost 3 Petabyte/year when
Sentinels-1, -2 and -3 are fully
operational).
 Dedicated Sentinel-data and
Copernicus information are being
made available on a full, open and

Economic and Societal value added
 Copernicus constitutes a cornerstone of the broader EU space
and industrial policy, and will generate significant economic and social
benefits.
 Driver for research, innovation and the creation

of highly skilled jobs, with direct and indirect benefits
for the EU economy.
 The bottom-line can be summarised as follows:

 Cost per EU citizen = ~€1,07/year;
 Every €1 spent generates a return of ~€3,2;
 Expected minimum financial benefits by 2030 of ~€30 bn. on Europe's GDP;
 An estimated 50.000 jobs will be maintained or created over the next 15 years.

• Without convicing description of the company
• Without enough information on competing solutions
• Not innovative enough
• Without commercialisation concept (TRL too low)
• Just trying ones' luck

Core and Collaborative Ground Segment
The Copernicus Space Component (CSC) Operations Concept relies on a Ground

Segment consisting of:
• A CSC (Core) Ground Segment, with CSC-funded Functions and Elements,

providing :
• the primary access to Sentinel Missions data as well as
• the coordinating access functions to Contributing Missions data
• fulfilling the Sentinels Mission Requirement Documents
• a Sentinel Collaborative Ground Segment, with non CSC-funded Functions

and Elements, providing:
• a supplementary access to Sentinel Missions data, i.e. either through
specific data acquisition services, or specific data products
• the frame for cooperation

Sentinels Operations Strategy
Main objectives of the Sentinels operations strategy:

• Reliable provision of data to Copernicus users
• Ensure systematic and routine operational activities
Sentinels operations approach:

• Sentinels are operated via a pre-defined background observation and
downlink plan
• Scenario is updated on a regular basis (e.g. 6 to 12 months) taking into
account evolution of user needs
• All Sentinels acquired data is systematically downlinked and processed to

generate a predefined list of core products within specific timeliness
• Typically within 3 hrs after sensing for Near-Real Time, and within 24hrs
after sensing for Non-Time Critical
Sentinel-1 Observation Scenario - Example
Observation plan is published in Sentinel On-line portal in

advance wrt execution
Sentinel-2 Observation Scenario - Overview
• The Sentinel-2 baseline observation scenario in routine phase will systematically cover all
land surfaces between 56° South latitude (Cape Horn in South America) and 84° North
latitude (north of Greenland), including also
• Major islands (greater than 100 km2 size), EU islands and all the other small
islands located at less than 20 km from the coastline
• The whole Mediterranean Sea as well as all inland water bodies and closed seas

Sentinel Data Access - Overview
• The Copernicus Space Component Ground Segment data access is ensuring that
at any point in time any user has access to all available Sentinels core products
• List of Sentinel baseline core products agreed with the Commission and
published on the Sentinel Online portal (sentinels.copernicus.eu)
• Access to Sentinel products is made available via dedicated data hubs:

• Users can self-register to the data hubs
• All core products of the last months of data is accessible via “rolling archives”
• Data download via terrestrial network (output rates up to 10 Gbps)
• In addition, access to full Sentinels long-term archive will be made progressively

available to all users (before removing products from data hubs rolling archives)
• Access to archive activated after approximately 1st year
following each Sentinel’s IOCR
Copernicus Data Policy
Users shall have free, full and open access to

Copernicus dedicated Sentinel data and Copernicus
service information
The CSC Ground Segment architecture implements

this policy, and includes an evolutionary approach to
further enhance the data exploitation by the broad user
community

Conclusions
• Setting up the Copernicus Security service has

been a challenging exercise; hard to be
comprehensive and bridge the dual-use
civil/defence gap (this is far beyond
Copernicus)
• The space segment can serve only part of

requirements and other observation capacities
(space and /or non-space) are needed (who
pays for it?)
•
Conclusions
• Extensive work has been done to mobilize communities and

identify their needs.
• Coordination mechanisms have been put in place for
complementary actions with the Emergency Management
Service.
• Pre-operational services started 2013 with the involvement
of end-users (Border Surveillance SAGRES and LOBOS) ,
Support to External Actions (G-NEXT and G-SEXTANT)
• Maritime Surveillance service portfolio defined early 2014
• Delegation of operations for Border Surveillance to FRONTEX
(Nov 2015), Maritime Surveillance to EMSA (Dec 2015) and
specific arrangements with EUSC for SEA, all supported by
Industrial capacities
• Operations as from 2016
Conclusions
• Monitoring of Cultural Heritage will be part

of the Support to EU External Action Service
(SEA) Portfolio as from mid-2016
• We are interested in hearing about the

experience of participants in this domain.
