S2B data are now available on Copernicus hub

A very good piece of news:  ESA started distributing Sentinel2-B data on Copernicus hub, two months ahead of schedule. This is really an achievement !Here is ESA’s announcement :

Following the successful completion of the Sentinel-2B Satellite In-Orbit Commissioning Phase, we are happy to announce that access to Sentinel-2B Level-1C products will be opened to all users on 6 July .Access to Sentinel-2B products will initially be provided through a dedicated hub accessible via the Copernicus Open Access Hub home page with public credentials. This dedicated interface will be maintained until early September, at which point both Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B products will be commonly accessible through the nominal Data Hub interfaces.

 Regarding Theia L2A production, we will have to wait for the availability of the data in PEPS, by end of July, and then perform some validation before releasing the data. Given the holiday period, it will probably happen in September. However, we have already checked that our L2A products, produced with MAJA withing MUSCATE should be great, as shown in this post some time ago:

The missing link to valorize CESBIO’s applicative research works

=>  My colleagues at CESBIO are extremely creative! Over the past ten years, they have developed a wide range of new products and methods for extracting information from Copernicus data. They don’t just develop and validate the method on a few sites; they continue their work until they have produced data for the whole of […]

Le chaînon manquant dans la valorisation des travaux de recherche en télédétection

=> Mes collègues du CESBIO sont très créatifs ! Ils ont mis au point, au cours des dix dernières années, un grand nombre de nouveaux produits et de méthodes d’extraction de l’information à partir des données Copernicus (Sentinel-1 et 2). Et bien souvent, ils ne s’arrêtent pas à la mise au point de la méthode […]

Sentinel-2 overtakes Landsat in scientific litterature

OpenAlex is a new, yet already very useful, open database for exploring scientific literature. For an upcoming blog post on the CNES Datacampus website, I analysed the proportion of papers that used only one of the Sentinel-2 or Landsat missions, as well as those that used both, in 2025. What struck me was that Sentinel-2 […]
