News & Events

Some Sentinel-2 data are temporarily unavailable on Terrascope. During the implementation of the new Sentinel data retention policy a technical error occurred which led to the removal of data that should have stayed available. The data is already being restored and will be available again as soon as possible. Discover more about which data are missing and when they will be available again.

Terrascope provides a wide variety of Earth observation data, including various data sets from the Sentinel satellites. Here's overview of which data is available over Belgium or other countries and how long the data remains available.

We hereby inform you that we found an error in the vegetation indices for the products within the period 25/01/2022 – 10/05/2022. The error has been rectified in the NRT processing and data since 11/05/2022 are correct.

Following the Sentinel-1B anomaly that occurred on 23 December 2021 and the news that no new acquisitions are expected for at least a few months we give an overview of the impact on the Sentinel-1 related products and services accessible via Terrascope. 

In collaboration with the Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy (BIRA-IASB) we will expand our offer of Sentinel-5P TROPOMI data products. We will release daily, monthly and yearly averaged data products for methane, formaldehyde, and sulfur dioxide in our Terrascope viewer later this year. Further, we will collaborate with BIRA-IASB and the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) on an improved nitrogen dioxide product for the European region, which we expect to release in 2023.

A new year also means new and improved data and services. Discover which data products, EO services, technical updates and new features you can expect in 2022.

In January 2022 we will launch the Terrascope Marketplace, a brand new platform to access and offer a variety of high-quality EO data and services. The Terrascope marketplace is a valuable and innovative platform to bring end users and service providers together. For end users, it is the place to discover EO services that meet their requirements. For service providers, it is an easy way to offer their technology to the world.

Copernicus Sentinel-2 based water quality products for Belgium are now available in Terrascope.
