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)
- atmospherically corrected L2A products covering several European countries and areas proposed by scientists
