Celebrating the very beginning

Throwback to the kick-off meeting in Frascati

A clear view of the Frascati - or anywhere else in the world - is just a few clicks away. Amazing, right? With this image we take you back to the very beginning of the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem and the official kick-off meeting which took place one year ago at ESA ESRIN in Frascati. Frascati is located in the Metropolitan City of Rome Capital, one of the 5 provinces of the Lazio region in Italy.

Using satellite images has never been easier, thanks to the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem, an innovative platform and ecosystem for the Copernicus Sentinel data after the legacy ESA distribution hubs and existing DIAS platforms. The goal? Making satellite data available for everyone, simple and completely free.

Understanding the effects of climate change

The world of satellite data has long remained in the niche field of researchers and intelligence communities. With the kick-off of the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem, the satellite data of Copernicus became available for a broad audience of public authorities, commercial companies and even individual citizens. Through various interfaces, users from all over the world can easily access, process and analyze satellite data for personal, commercial, or research objectives.

Anyone can benefit from getting a clearer view on our planet. This is why the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem aims to reach all members of society, enabling them to better understand and mitigate the effects of climate change in order to create a more sustainable future for all. A huge step in making an impact for everyone on our planet.

New roadmap for 2024

The Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem is continuously upgraded. In the new roadmap we give a clear overview of which data and services are recently made available, and which you can expect the first months of 2024.

The Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem in figures

All our services are constantly monitored to offer real-time insights into system usage and the amount of data available with various metrics. The Copernicus Dashboard gives you multiple insights into the current operational state, user activity, and service health. Here are some first insights:

• 62.44 PB of Sentinel data available
• 86 798 registered users (daily increase)
• 44.22 M data visualization requests
• 106.75 M published products
